Eltrombopag Information
(el trom' boe pag)
If you have chronic hepatitis C (an ongoing viral infection that may damage the liver) and you take eltrombopag with medications for hepatitis C called interferon (Peginterferon, Pegintron, others) and ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol, Ribasphere, others), there is an increased risk that you will develop serious liver damage. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, excessive tiredness, pain in the upper right part of the stomach, swelling of the stomach area, or confusion. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking eltrombopag.-
Before taking eltrombopag,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to eltrombopag, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in eltrombopag tablets. Ask your pharmacist or check the Medication Guide for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven); bosentan (Tracleer); cholesterol-lowering medications (statins) such as atorvastatin (Lipitor, in Caduet), fluvastatin (Lescol), pitavastatin (Livalo), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor), and simvastatin (Zocor, in Simcor, in Vytorin); ezetimibe (Zetia, in Vytorin); glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase, in Glucovance); imatinib (Gleevec); irinotecan (Camptosar); olmesartan (Benicar, in Azor, in Tribenzor, others); lapatinib (Tykerb); methotrexate (Trexall); mitoxantrone; repaglinide (Prandin, in PrandiMet): rifampin (Rimactane, Rifadin, in Rifamate, Rifater); sulfasalazine (Azulfidine); topotecan (Hycamtin), and valsartan (in Diovan HCT, in Entresto, in Exforge). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects. Many other medications may also interact with eltrombopag, so be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, even those that do not appear on this list.
- if you are taking antacids containing calcium, aluminum, or magnesium (Maalox, Mylanta, Tums) or vitamin or mineral supplements containing calcium, iron, zinc or selenium, take them 2 hours before or 4 hours after you take eltrombopag.
- tell your doctor if you are of East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, or Korean) descent and if you have or have ever had a cataract (clouding of the lens of the eye that may cause vision problems), blood clots, any condition that increases the risk that you will develop a blood clot, bleeding problems, or liver or kidney disease.
