What are the dietary taboos while taking Eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets?

1. Avoid taking antacids at the same time

Antacids are generally weakly alkaline compounds containing weakly alkaline ingredients such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium trisilicate, and calcium carbonate. These ingredients will combine with eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets to form macromolecular substances, which will affect the absorption of the drug into the blood and thus affect the efficacy of the drug. Therefore, you should avoid taking eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets at the same time as antacids.

2. Limit the intake of high-calcium foods

High-calcium foods such as milk, cream, ice cream, cheese and other dairy products contain more calcium ions and other minerals. These minerals will react with the drug ingredients in Eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets, affecting the absorption and efficacy of the drug. Therefore, during the period of taking medication, patients should try to reduce the intake of high-calcium foods, or the interval between taking the medication should be more than 4 hours.

3. Eat a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods

Patients should keep a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy food while taking the medicine. Foods such as fatty meat and chili peppers may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption and metabolism of drugs. At the same time, these foods may also increase the burden on the liver and increase the damage to the liver caused by drugs. Therefore, patients are advised to eat more light, easy-to-digest foods while taking the medication.

4. Avoid raw and cold food

Although the instructions for Eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets do not clearly stipulate that you cannot eat raw or cold food while taking the drug, raw or cold food may affect the function of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby affecting the absorption and metabolism of the drug. Therefore, it is recommended that patients avoid the intake of raw and cold food while taking the medication.

5. Strictly control high-calorie and high-fat foods

High-calorie and high-fat foods will increase the burden on the body and affect the metabolism and excretion of drugs. Therefore, while taking Eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets, patients should strictly control their intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods to maintain good health.

6. Pay attention to drug allergies

While taking the medication, patients should pay attention to drug allergies. If you are allergic to Eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets or its excipients, you should stop taking it immediately and seek medical advice.
