Drugs that increase platelets include oral drugs and injections such as eltrombopag, aminopterin, and recombinant human thrombopoietin and interleukin-11.
1. Oral medications that increase platelets include eltrombopag and aminopterin.
Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, which can treat immune thrombocytopenia. Aminopterin is an active substance extracted from animals, which helps blood cell proliferation, differentiation, maturation and release.
2. Injectable platelet increasing drugs include recombinant human thrombopoietin and interleukin-11, which are cytokines that can specifically bind to megakaryocyte receptors, promote cell proliferation and division, and produce more platelets.
Oral medications are generally indicated for mild platelet lowering, while injectable medications are often used for more severe degrees of platelet deficiency, such as in patients after tumor chemotherapy. All of the above medications should be used as prescribed.
