Romiset 125 mcg Injection belongs to the class of 'platelet-stimulating agents' primarily used to treat chronic immune thrombocytopenia in adults who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. Immune thrombocytopenia, often called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), is an immune disorder characterised by low platelet counts.

Romiset 125 mcg Injection contains 'Romiplostim,' which is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist that functions similarly to thrombopoietin. Romiset 125 mcg Injection promotes platelet formation by activating the thrombopoietin receptor. Thereby, Romiset 125 mcg Injection helps treat immune thrombocytopenia effectively.

Immune thrombocytopenia: It is an immune disorder characterised by low platelet counts and abnormal blood clotting. It happens when the immune system destroys its own platelets by mistake. Immune thrombocytopenia symptoms include easy bruising, bleeding from the gums and nose, blood in the urine and stools, heavy menstruation, and pinpoint-sized reddish-purple patches on the lower thighs.
