What is Promacta?

Promacta is a prescription medication given to adults and children age 1 year and older who have chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) to stop episodes of bleeding. ITP is a bleeding condition caused by a lack of platelets in the blood. Promacta (eltrombopag) is a man-made version of a protein that raises platelets produced in your body and can reduce the chance of bleeding. Promacta is not a cure for ITP as it will not make your platelet count normal.

Promacta is also used to stop bleeding in adults with chronic hepatitis C who are treated with an interferon (interferons are proteins that are part of your natural defenses).

Promacta can be used with other medicines to treat severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in adults and children aged 2 and above and also when other medicines for SAA have not worked well enough.

Promacta active ingredients

Promacta (eltrombopag) tablets contain what is known as a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist. An agonist is something that attaches to and stimulates the receptor it acts on. Eltrombopag activates the TPO receptor, which starts a set of signals that increase the production of platelets from bone marrow.

Promacta side effects

The most common side effects caused by Promacta include:

• Headaches
• Tiredness
• Nausea (feeling sick)

• Liver problems – jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), confusion, tiredness, stomach pain (on the upper right side), stomach swelling, dark urine

Promacta drug interactions

Promacta can interact with other medications. When this happens, it can change how Promacta and the other medications work. It can even make some side effects more likely. Some medicines can make eltrombopag less effective when taken together. Take Promacta 2 hours before or 4 hours after you take an antacid or a vitamin or mineral supplement containing calcium, aluminum, iron, magnesium, selenium, or zinc.

You should tell your prescribing doctor about all drugs you are taking, particularly:

• Blood thinners – warfarin
• Cholesterol medication – atorvastatin, ezetimibe, fluvastatin, or simvastatin
• Immunosuppressants – leflunomide
• Cancer treatment – carfilzomib
• Interferons
