What is Doptelet?
Doptelet is used to treat thrombocytopenia (a lack of platelets in the blood) in adults with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a medical procedure.
A low platelet count increases the risk of excessive bleeding during certain medical procedures. Avatrombopag increases the production of platelets by your body to help prevent too much bleeding.
Doptelet is also used to treat low blood platelet counts in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) when other treatments have not worked well enough.
Doptelet is also used to treat chronic immune thrombocytopenia when other treatments have failed.
Doptelet is not a cure for thrombocytopenia and it will not make your platelet counts normal in adults with chronic liver disease or chronic immune thrombocytopenia.
