Romiplostim is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, which stimulates the production and maturation of platelets, leading to increased platelet counts in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia.

The recommended starting dose is 1 mcg/kg injected subcutaneously once weekly.
The dose may be adjusted as needed based on platelet counts.
Doses may be changed in special conditions so always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions.
If you take more than you should, talk to a doctor or go to the hospital straight away.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember it unless it is nearly time for your next dose.
Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for the forgotten dose.
