Indications & Clinical Uses

Kadderum is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist used in disorders characterized by low platelet counts.

  • Chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP): raises platelet levels in patients with persistent immune‑mediated thrombocytopenia.
  • Severe aplastic anemia: supports hematopoiesis and increases platelet counts in bone‑marrow failure.
  • Hepatitis C‑associated thrombocytopenia: improves platelet numbers in patients with HCV‑related thrombocytopenia.

How It Works

  • Eltrombopag binds to the thrombopoietin (c‑Mpl) receptor on megakaryocyte precursors, mimicking endogenous thrombopoietin. This activates the JAK/STAT signaling cascade, promoting proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes, which results in increased platelet production in the bone marrow.

Side Effects

Kadderum may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Fatigue
  • Headache

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Thromboembolic events
  • Hepatotoxicity (elevated liver enzymes or severe liver injury)
  • Bone‑marrow fibrosis
  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)

Precautions & Warnings

When prescribing Kadderum, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

  • Monitor liver function: check hepatic enzymes regularly.
  • Assess platelet counts: adjust therapy based on response.
  • Avoid in active thrombosis: contraindicated in patients with ongoing clotting disorders.
  • Use caution in hepatic impairment: dose may need adjustment.
  • Discontinue if severe liver injury occurs.
  • Store at below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Eltrombopag can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid reduced efficacy or increased toxicity.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin) may markedly lower eltrombopag exposure.
  • Concurrent anticoagulants can raise the risk of thrombotic complications.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Co‑administration with other thrombopoietin receptor agonists may cause excessive platelet rise.
  • Hepatotoxic drugs (e.g., isoniazid) may exacerbate liver injury.
  • Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium can reduce oral absorption of eltrombopag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kadderum contains eltrombopag and is indicated for chronic immune thrombocytopenia, severe aplastic anemia, and hepatitis C‑associated thrombocytopenia, where it helps raise platelet counts.

Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist that binds to the c‑Mpl receptor on megakaryocyte precursors, activating JAK/STAT signaling and stimulating platelet production in the bone marrow.

The dosage is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s platelet count, underlying condition, response, and tolerability, following approved labeling and clinical guidelines.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established; it is generally advised to avoid use unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, and decisions should be made by the treating physician.

Submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity; GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and necessary import documentation.

Like romiplostim, eltrombopag increases platelet counts, but Kadderum is taken orally while romiplostim is administered subcutaneously; differences in route, dosing frequency, and specific labeling allow clinicians to choose based on patient preference and clinical context.

Store at below 25 °C in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight; keep the product out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.

Kadderum is taken orally, usually with a low‑fat meal or as directed by the prescriber; tablets should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or crushed unless instructed.

Serious adverse events include thromboembolic complications, significant liver injury, bone‑marrow fibrosis, and severe allergic reactions; patients should be monitored regularly for signs of these conditions and the drug should be discontinued if they occur.

Kadderum is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to eltrombopag, active thrombotic disease, uncontrolled liver disease, and in individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding unless the benefits outweigh risks; clinicians should assess each patient’s medical history before prescribing.
