ROMIPLOSTIM treats low levels of platelets in your body caused by immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). It is prescribed when other medications have not worked or cannot be tolerated. It may also be used to help people who have been exposed to high doses of radiation. It works by increasing the amount of platelets in your blood. This lowers the risk of bleeding.

With the Patient Assistance Program from Amgen, you can receive your medication free of charge for up to one year.
