How much does a box of Romiplostim cost?

Romiplostim is a prescription drug used to treat low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) in adults, including immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), who do not respond well to certain medications or surgery to remove the spleen. Children 1 year and older have ITP for at least 6 months when certain drugs or surgery to remove the spleen do not work well. Romigrastim is not suitable for use in patients with a precancerous condition called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or low platelet counts caused by any condition other than immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Use romigrastim only if low platelet counts and medical conditions increase the risk of bleeding. Romigrastim is used to keep platelet counts around 50,000 per microliter to reduce the risk of bleeding. Romiplostim is not used to normalize platelet counts. It is not known whether romiplostim is effective or if it is safe in people 1 year old.
