Doptelet is a prescription medicine used to treat low blood platelet counts in adults with long-lasting (chronic) liver disease who are scheduled to have a medical or dental procedure.
Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless cells produced in the bone marrow that form blood clots in the vascular system and prevent bleeding.
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which there is a lower-than-normal number of circulating platelets in the blood. When patients have moderately to severely reduced platelet counts, serious or life-threatening bleeding can occur, especially during invasive procedures.
Patients with significant thrombocytopenia typically receive platelet transfusions immediately prior to a procedure to increase the platelet count. Avatrombopag is an active ingredient in doptelet while inactive ingredients are; lactose monohydrate, colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose.
Doptelet may cause serious side effects like swelling, pain, tenderness in leg, shortness of breath, chest pain, fast heartbeat, stomach (abdominal) pain or tenderness. Common side effects include; fever, nausea, headache, tiredness and swelling of the hands or feet.
