Mulpleta is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist used to treat thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) in adults with chronic liver disease.

Mulpleta is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adults with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a medical, surgical, or dental procedure. It is used to increase platelet counts to reduce the risk of bleeding associated with procedures.
Mulpleta contains the active ingredient lusutrombopag, which is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist. It binds to and activates the thrombopoietin receptor on bone marrow cells, stimulating the production and maturation of platelets.
Mulpleta is typically taken orally once daily for a limited duration before a scheduled procedure. Patients should be monitored for platelet counts and signs of thrombosis (blood clots) during treatment. The medication is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lusutrombopag or any inactive ingredients.
