About Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's

Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's belongs to the class of 'platelet-stimulating agents' primarily used to treat low blood platelet count in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's is also used to treat severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) in adults. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is an immune condition associated with low levels of platelets. Hepatitis C is an infection and inflammation of the liver caused due to hepatitis C virus. Severe aplastic anaemia is a condition in which the bone marrow doesn't make enough blood cells.

Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's contains 'Eltrombopag' which belongs to the class of 'thrombopoietin receptor agonists'. Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone that stimulates the formation of megakaryocytes (large bone marrow cells) and further regulates platelet's production. Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's works by increasing these large bone marrow cells responsible for the production of platelets. Thus, Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's helps increase these bone marrow cells, thereby stimulating the number of platelets, which further lowers the risk of bleeding.

Take Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's can cause common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, headache, muscle pain, tiredness, loss of appetite, fever, anaemia (lack of blood cells), cough and tingling numbness. These side effects are not familiar to everyone who take Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's or any other medicines, before starting Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's. It is essential to inform your doctor if you have any heart, kidney or liver problems, blood disorders, blood clotting problems and cataracts before starting Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's. It is advised to consult the doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive. Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's is not indicated for use in breastfeeding since it passes into the breast milk. Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's may make you dizzy, hence drive or operate machinery only when you are mentally alert. 

Uses of Eltromag 25 Tablet 7's

Low platelet count and Severe aplastic anaemia (SAA).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP): It is an immune condition associated with low levels of platelets, and the blood doesn't clot normally. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks its own platelets. ITP also occurs in children, followed by a viral infection. Symptoms of ITP may include easy bruising, bleeding from gums and nose, blood in urine and stools, heavy menstrual flow and pinpoint-sized reddish-purple spots on the lower legs.

Hepatitis C: It is an infection and inflammation of the liver caused due to hepatitis C virus. This virus can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis. Acute hepatitis C is a short term illness that may range for six months. Chronic hepatitis C is a long-lasting disease that may lead to other severe liver cancer problems or cirrhosis (inflammation of the liver). Symptoms of hepatitis C include fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite and yellowing of the eyes and skin.

Severe aplastic anaemia (SAA): Aplastic anaemia is also called bone marrow aplasia. It is a condition in which the bone marrow doesn't make enough blood cells. SAA is commonly caused due to the damage of bone marrow. This damage can be a congenital disability or may occur because of radiation, chemotherapy, toxic chemicals, certain drugs and infections. Symptoms of SAA include fatigue, frequent infections, rapid heart rate and bleeding.
