Romy 250mcg Injection

About

Romy 250mcg Injection contains Romiplostim, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. Romiplostim works by stimulating the thrombopoietin receptor, leading to increased production of platelets in the bone marrow.

This mechanism helps to raise and maintain platelet counts, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding events associated with ITP. It is administered subcutaneously and is a crucial therapeutic option for patients with persistent or chronic ITP who require long-term management of their platelet levels.
