Revolade 50mg Tablets (Eltrombopag)
Revolade 50mg Tablet contains eltrombopag, a medicine known as a thrombopoietin receptor agonist. It works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more platelets, the blood cells that help blood to clot. By raising the platelet count, it reduces the risk of bruising and bleeding in people whose platelets are too low. Revolade uses include the treatment of low platelet counts in conditions such as chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), low platelets linked to hepatitis C treatment, and severe aplastic anaemia, and it is prescribed and supervised by a specialist.
