How PROMACTA May Help

PROMACTA

PROMACTA® (eltrombopag) should only be used in people with chronic hepatitis C whose low blood platelet counts keep them from starting or continuing interferon-based therapy. PROMACTA is not used to make your platelet count normal. It is not known if PROMACTA is safe and effective when used with other antiviral medicines that are approved to treat chronic hepatitis C. It is not known if PROMACTA is safe and effective in children.

 

If you have chronic hepatitis C, PROMACTA can increase platelet counts so you can:

  • Start interferon-based therapy
  • Continue maintenance of interferon treatment at recommended dose level
