About Eltromag 25 Tablet

Eltromag 25 Tablet is used to treat low blood platelet count in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Eltromag 25 Tablet is also used to treat severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in adults. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is an immune condition associated with low levels of platelets. Hepatitis C is an infection and inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus. Severe aplastic anemia is a condition in which the bone marrow doesn't make enough blood cells.
