Product Information

Avapag (Avatrombopag) 20mg is an oral thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist used to raise platelet counts in adults with thrombocytopenia due to chronic liver disease who are scheduled for a procedure, and in adults with chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to previous treatment. It works by binding to and activating the TPO receptor (c-Mpl) on megakaryocyte progenitor cells, stimulating their proliferation and differentiation into mature megakaryocytes and increasing platelet production. Unlike endogenous TPO, Avatrombopag binds a different site on the receptor, giving it an additive effect with the body’s own TPO rather than competing with it. Manufactured by Everest Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Bangladesh and globally supplied by Mediaid Pharmacy with worldwide shipping.

How Avapag (Avatrombopag) Works

Avapag contains Avatrombopag, an orally bioavailable, small-molecule agonist of the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor, also known as c-Mpl, found on the surface of megakaryocyte progenitor cells in the bone marrow. Activating this receptor stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of these progenitor cells into mature megakaryocytes, the cells responsible for producing platelets, thereby increasing platelet production.

A distinguishing feature of Avatrombopag is that it does not compete with the body’s own, naturally occurring TPO for the same binding site on the receptor. Instead, it has an additive effect alongside endogenous TPO on platelet production, an approach also thought to reduce the risk of neutralising antibody formation seen with some earlier platelet-stimulating therapies.

Avapag is taken as an oral tablet with food, with the dosing schedule and duration differing depending on whether it is being used to prepare a chronic liver disease patient for a scheduled procedure, or as ongoing therapy for chronic ITP.

Indications for Avapag (Avatrombopag)

Avapag (Avatrombopag) is indicated for the following conditions:

Thrombocytopenia in Chronic Liver Disease

For the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a medical or dental procedure, reducing the need for platelet transfusion or delay of the procedure.

Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)

For the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic ITP who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment, such as corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy.

Benefits of Avapag (Avatrombopag) 20mg

No Dietary Mineral Restrictions

Unlike some earlier TPO receptor agonists, Avapag does not require avoiding dairy, calcium, or other mineral-rich foods around dosing, simplifying day-to-day use.

Minimal Hepatotoxicity

Avatrombopag has a favourable liver safety profile, making it a particularly suitable option for patients with chronic liver disease.

Short, Defined Pre-Procedure Course

For the CLD indication, Avapag is used for just 5 days ahead of a scheduled procedure, rather than requiring ongoing daily therapy.

Affordable Alternative to Doptelet

Avapag contains the same active ingredient as Doptelet, at a significantly lower cost, making effective platelet-support therapy more financially accessible.

Strong Response Rates in ITP

Real-world and clinical trial data have shown a high proportion of ITP patients who failed prior first- and second-line treatments achieving target platelet counts on Avatrombopag.

cGMP Certified Manufacturing

Produced by Everest Pharmaceuticals Ltd. under cGMP-compliant manufacturing standards, helping ensure consistent quality, purity, and potency in every batch of Avapag tablets.

How to Take Avapag (Avatrombopag)

Route: Oral, taken WITH FOOD, as absorption is significantly enhanced when taken with a meal.

Dosing for chronic liver disease (pre-procedure): Baseline platelet count below 40×10⁹/L: 60mg (three 20mg tablets) once daily for 5 consecutive days. Baseline platelet count 40 to below 50×10⁹/L: 40mg (two 20mg tablets) once daily for 5 consecutive days. Dosing should begin 10 to 13 days before the scheduled procedure, with the procedure performed 5 to 8 days after the last dose.

Dosing for chronic ITP: Starting dose is 20mg (one tablet) once daily with food. The dose is adjusted in increments or decrements of one dose level based on platelet count response, reassessed every 2 weeks, up to a maximum of 40mg once daily.

ITP dose adjustment guidance: If platelet count remains below 50×10⁹/L after at least 2 weeks, increase one dose level. If platelet count is between 200 and 400×10⁹/L, decrease one dose level. If platelet count exceeds 400×10⁹/L, stop Avapag and increase platelet monitoring to twice weekly; when the count falls below 150×10⁹/L, resume at one dose level lower. If platelet count remains below 50×10⁹/L after 4 weeks at the 40mg dose, discontinue Avapag. Always follow your physician’s specific adjustment plan.

Missed dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered; do not take two doses at one time to make up for a missed dose. Resume the normal schedule with the next dose the following day.

Paediatric use: Avatrombopag has been studied and approved in some regions for children with chronic or persistent ITP; follow specialist paediatric dosing guidance where relevant, as it differs from the adult regimens above.

Prescription Medication. TPO receptor agonists, including Avapag, have been associated with thrombotic and thromboembolic complications, including portal vein thrombosis, particularly in patients with chronic liver disease. A platelet count should be obtained before starting Avapag and again on the day of the scheduled procedure, to confirm an adequate response. Avapag must only be prescribed and monitored by a physician experienced in managing platelet disorders.

Monitoring and Dosage Adjustments

Regular monitoring is essential throughout Avapag treatment. For the chronic liver disease indication, your physician will check your platelet count before starting treatment and again on the day of your scheduled procedure. For chronic ITP, platelet counts are checked regularly, generally every 2 weeks during dose adjustment, to guide dose increases, decreases, or discontinuation as detailed above. Monitoring also includes assessment for signs of blood clots, particularly in patients with chronic liver disease. Report any leg swelling or pain, sudden breathlessness, chest pain, abdominal pain, or unusual bruising or bleeding to your doctor promptly.

Drug Interactions and Important Information

Avatrombopag is metabolised primarily by CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. Concomitant use of moderate or strong dual inhibitors of both CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 may increase Avatrombopag exposure; discuss any such medications with your physician before starting treatment. Because Avapag is highly protein bound (approximately 96%), caution is advised with other highly protein-bound medications.

Inform your physician of any personal or family history of blood clots before starting treatment, particularly if you have chronic liver disease. Always inform your physician of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking before starting Avapag.

Who Should Use Avapag (Avatrombopag)?

Avapag is suitable for adult patients with chronic liver disease and thrombocytopenia who are preparing for a scheduled medical or dental procedure, and adult patients with chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia who have not responded adequately to prior treatments such as corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. It is prescribed by haematologists, hepatologists, and gastroenterologists depending on the underlying condition. A thorough medical assessment including baseline platelet count and a review of thrombotic risk factors is required before initiating treatment.
