What is Mulpleta?

Mulpleta is a man-made form of a protein that increases production of platelets (blood-clotting cells) in your body. Lusutrombopag can lower the risk of bleeding by increasing platelets in your blood.

Mulpleta is used to treat thrombocytopenia (a lack of platelets in the blood) in adults with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a medical procedure.

Mulpleta is not a cure for thrombocytopenia and it will not make your platelet counts normal.

Warnings

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 Mulpleta if you are allergic to lusutrombopag.

To make sure Mulpleta is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • a blood clot; or

  • a bleeding or blood clotting disorder other than thrombocytopenia.

It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.

It is not safe to breast-feed a baby while you are using this medicine. Also do not breast-feed for at least 28 days after your last dose.
