Augplat 125 mcg Injection

Augplat 125 mcg Injection belongs to the class of 'platelet-stimulating agents' primarily used to treat chronic immune thrombocytopenia in adults who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. Immune thrombocytopenia, often called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), is an immune disorder characterised by low platelet counts.

Augplat 125 mcg Injection contains 'Romiplostim,' which is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist that functions similarly to thrombopoietin. Augplat 125 mcg Injection promotes platelet formation by activating the thrombopoietin receptor. Thereby, Augplat 125 mcg Injection helps treat immune thrombocytopenia effectively.
