    Avatrombopag, sold under the brand name Doptelet, is a medication used to treat low platelets in chronic liver disease when an invasive medical procedure is required.[2][3] It is taken by mouth.[1]

    Common side effects include fever, abdominal pain, nausea, headache, tiredness, and peripheral swelling.[2] Other side effects may include blood clots.[2] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] Safety in pregnancy or breastfeeding is unclear.[1] It is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, which increases platelet production.[1]

    Avatrombopag was approved for medical use in the United States in 2018 and Europe in 2019.[2][3] In the United Kingdom a course of treatment costs the NHS £640 to £960 as of 2020.[4] In the United States this amount is 3,650 USD to 5,500 USD.[5]
