Romy-500 Injection 1 ml 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.
Romy-500 Injection 1 ml contains 'Romiplostim,' which is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist that functions similarly to thrombopoietin. Romy-500 Injection 1 ml promotes platelet formation by activating the thrombopoietin receptor. Thereby, Romy-500 Injection 1 ml helps treat immune thrombocytopenia effectively.
