About Promacta
ELTROMBOPAG treats low levels of platelets in your body caused by liver disease or immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). It works by increasing the amount of platelets in your blood. This lowers the risk of bleeding. It may also be used to treat aplastic anemia, a condition that occurs when your body does not make enough new blood cells.
With the Patient Assistance Program from Novartis, you can receive your medication at no cost.
