Romiplostim Injection 250 mcg

Product Introduction

Romiplostim Injection treats chronic immune thrombocytopenia in patients who have not responded adequately to treatments like corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy.

Your doctor or nurse administers Romiplostim drug to ensure you receive the correct dose. The dosage depends on your condition and response to the treatment. Continue taking this medicine as long as your doctor advises. Stopping the treatment too early may cause your symptoms to return and worsen your condition.

Common side effects include headache, joint pain, insomnia, muscle pain, pain in extremities, abdominal pain, indigestion, and paresthesia (tingling or pricking sensation).

These effects are usually temporary and subside over time. Contact your doctor if you have concerns about these side effects. Romiplostim can also cause dizziness, so avoid driving or tasks that require focus until you know how it affects you. Avoid alcohol as it may worsen dizziness.

Before starting Romiplostim drug, inform your doctor if you have a history of blood clots, bleeding disorders, or liver or kidney issues. Also, provide details of any other medications you are taking, as they may interact with Romiplostim.
