What is romiplostim?

Romiplostim is used to prevent bleeding episodes in people with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a bleeding condition caused by a lack of platelets in the blood.

Romiplostim is for use in adults and children who are at least 1 year old.

Romiplostim is not a cure for ITP and it will not make your platelet counts normal if you have this condition.

Romiplostim is usually given after other treatments have failed.

Romiplostim may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Important Information

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

Before taking this medicine

You should not use romiplostim if you are allergic to it.

Using romiplostim may increase your risk of developing blood cancers, especially if you have a myelodysplastic syndrome (bone marrow failure disorder, sometimes called “preleukemia”). Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about this risk.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • blood or bone marrow cancer such as leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome;

  • liver disease; or

  • bleeding problems or a blood clot.

It is not known whether romiplostim will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

If you are pregnant, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry to track the effects of romiplostim on the baby.

You should not breast-feed while using romiplostim.

How is romiplostim given?

Romiplostim is injected under the skin, usually once per week. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Using romiplostim long-term can cause harmful effects on your bone marrow that may result in serious blood cell disorders. You will need frequent blood tests.

It may take up to 4 weeks of before romiplostim is completely effective in preventing bleeding episodes. Keep receiving the medication as directed. Talk with your doctor if you have any bruising or bleeding episodes after 4 weeks of treatment.

After you stop using romiplostim, your risk of bleeding may be even higher than it was before you started treatment. Be extra careful to avoid cuts or injury for at least 2 weeks after you stop using romiplostim. Your blood will need to be tested weekly during this time.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Call your doctor for instructions if you miss an appointment for your romiplostim injection.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call 115.

What should I avoid while receiving romiplostim?

Avoid activities that may increase your risk of bleeding or injury. Use extra care to prevent bleeding while shaving or brushing your teeth.
