• Chronic immune thrombocytopenia in adult patients
• Patients who have insufficient response to corticosteroids
• Thrombocytopenia in chronic hepatitis C patients
• Severe aplastic anemia treatment

How Does Eltrom Work?

Eltrom provides targeted platelet stimulation through specific mechanisms:

1. TPO Receptor Activation: Binds to human thrombopoietin receptor
2. Megakaryocyte Growth: Stimulates bone marrow megakaryocyte proliferation
3. Platelet Production: Increases circulating platelet counts
4. JAK-STAT Pathway: Activates intracellular signaling cascades

Eltrom Side Effects and Warnings

Common side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and elevated liver enzymes. Most reactions are mild to moderate and manageable.

Serious Considerations

1. Hepatotoxicity: Regular liver function monitoring essential
2. Bone Marrow Fibrosis: Risk of increased reticulin formation
3. Thrombotic Risk: Blood clot risk with elevated platelet counts
4. Cataract Development: Regular ophthalmological examinations needed
5. Drug Interactions: Chelates with polyvalent cations affecting absorption
