What is Mulpleta?
Mulpleta is a man-made form of a protein that increases production of platelets (blood-clotting cells) in your body. Lusutrombopag can lower the risk of bleeding by increasing platelets in your blood.
Mulpleta is used to treat thrombocytopenia (a lack of platelets in the blood) in adults with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a medical procedure.
Mulpleta is not a cure for thrombocytopenia and it will not make your platelet counts normal.
