About Revolade 25mg Tablet

Revolade 25mg Tablet is used to treat low blood platelet count in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Revolade 25mg Tablet is also used to treat severe aplastic anaemia (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 anaemia is a condition in which the bone marrow doesn't make enough blood cells.

Revolade 25mg Tablet contains 'Eltrombopag', which belongs to the class of 'thrombopoietin receptor agonists'. Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone that stimulates the formation of megakaryocytes (large bone marrow cells) and further regulates platelet production. Revolade 25mg Tablet works by increasing these large bone marrow cells responsible for the production of platelets. Thus, Revolade 25mg Tablet helps increase these bone marrow cells, thereby stimulating the number of platelets, which further lowers the risk of bleeding.
