Revolade tab contains the Eltrombopag as a thrombopoietin receptor agonist. It works by stimulating the production of platelets in the bone marrow, which helps increase the platelet count in the blood.
Revolade is primarily used to treat chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in adults and children who have not responded well to other treatments. ITP is a condition characterized by a low platelet count due to the immune system attacking platelets.
Is also used to treat low platelet counts in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection when the use of interferon-based therapy is necessary.
