What is the use of ELROMO 25MG?

• Treatment of chronic immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in adults and children who do not respond to other therapies (like corticosteroids or immunoglobulins).

• Management of thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic hepatitis C to allow them to receive interferon-based therapy.

• Treatment of severe aplastic anemia in certain patients who have not responded to previous treatment.

Benefits of ELROMO 25MG:

• Increases platelet count and reduces the risk of bleeding.

• Helps patients with ITP maintain safer platelet levels without constant transfusions.

• Improves quality of life by reducing bleeding-related complications.

• Can support patients with liver disease undergoing antiviral treatment.

• Provides an effective option for patients who do not respond to standard therapies.

Q1. What is ELROMO 25MG used for?
ELROMO 25MG (Eltrombopag) is used to increase platelet count in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), chronic hepatitis C-related thrombocytopenia, and severe aplastic anemia.

Q2. How does ELROMO 25MG work?
It stimulates thrombopoietin receptors in the bone marrow, encouraging platelet production and reducing the risk of bleeding.

Q3. How should I take ELROMO 25MG?
Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily on an empty stomach, at least 1–2 hours before or after meals.

Q4. Can I take ELROMO 25MG with dairy products or calcium supplements?
No. Dairy, calcium, iron, magnesium, and aluminum-rich foods reduce absorption. Take it separately from such foods and supplements.

Seek immediate help if you notice jaundice, chest pain, shortness of breath, blood clots, or swelling in the legs/arms.

Q8. Can ELROMO 25MG cause liver problems?
Yes, it can increase liver enzymes. Regular liver function tests are needed during treatment.

Q9. Does ELROMO 25MG cure ITP?
No, it does not cure ITP. It manages platelet levels to reduce bleeding risks and improve quality of life.

Q10. Can I stop ELROMO 25MG if my platelets improve?
No. Stopping suddenly may cause a sharp drop in platelet count. Always follow your doctor’s advice.

Q11. Can children use ELROMO 25MG?
Yes, it is approved for children with ITP who do not respond to other treatments, but dosage is adjusted based on age and weight.

Q12. Can I drink alcohol while taking ELROMO 25MG?
Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase liver strain and worsen side effects.

Q13. Is ELROMO 25MG safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No, it is not recommended. Women should discuss contraception and family planning with their doctor before starting treatment.

Q14. What should I do if I miss a dose of ELROMO 25MG?
Take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

Q15. How is my treatment monitored with ELROMO 25MG?
Your doctor will regularly check platelet counts, liver function, and overall health to adjust the dose safely.
