For adults with chronic liver disease (CLD) who have low platelet counts and are preparing for a procedure
Moving Forward with Doptelet
Say it with me: "dop-TELL-it"
Doptelet is a pill that lifts platelet counts with just 5 daily doses.
If you have CLD, your doctor may have prescribed Doptelet to give your platelet counts a lift to reduce the risk of bleeding before your medical procedure.
Some common side effects of Doptelet (avatrombopag) are fever, headache, and stomach pain. See important safety info below for the full list.
How do I take Doptelet?
Start taking Doptelet 10 to 13 days prior to your procedure. You and your doctor will work together to decide when your first dose will be. Someone from your care team may contact you as your start date approaches, just to remind you.
Take Doptelet
Once a day
For five days in a row
With any food you like
In case of a missed dose, take the next dose of Doptelet as soon as you remember. Don’t take two at once to make up for a missed dose, just take the next one at the usual time the next day: all 5 days of dosing
should be completed.
It’s important to take Doptelet exactly as your doctor prescribed.
