Benefits of Rebopag Tablet
In Low platelet count due to ITP or HCV infection

It is used in patients who have not benefited or cannot be treated with other treatments, including medications or surgery to remove the spleen. Rebopag Tablet is also used to increase the number of platelets in people who have hepatitis C (a viral infection that may damage the liver). It is usually given along with other medicines.
