What is the domestic price of Romiplostim?

Romiplostim belongs to a class of drugs called TPO (thrombopoietin) peptide mimetics. These drugs help your body make more platelets, which are cells that help your blood clot. Romiplostimworks by mimicking the effects of your own natural TPO, a hormone produced by your liver and kidneys that regulates how many platelets you produce. Romiplostim binds to and activates the same receptors in your body that TPO uses to increase platelet production. It is a TPO receptor agonist.

Romiplostim is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have an inadequate response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy, and for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 year and older with ITP for at least 6 months who have an inadequate response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. Romigrastim should only be used in patients with ITP who have a degree of thrombocytopenia and a clinical condition that increases the risk of bleeding. It is not indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia due to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or thrombocytopenia due to any cause other than ITP. It should not be used to attempt to normalize platelet counts.
