You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen.

The most common side effects are headache, joint pain, insomnia, muscle pain, pain in extremity, abdominal pain, indigestion, and paresthesia (tingling or pricking sensation). Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects.

Benefits of Romy Injection

Chronic immune thrombocytopenia
Chronic immune thrombocytopenia is a condition of low levels of platelets in our blood. Platelets are those cells that help in clotting and control bleeding. Romy Injection helps in controlling bleeding by speeding up blood clotting. It helps to prevent excessive loss of blood, stops bleeding and enhances the healing process. It is given by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered.

Side effects of Romy Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Romy Injection

How Romy Injection works

Romy Injection is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist. It works in the same way as thrombopoietin (TPO). It helps in increasing platelet production through activation of the thrombopoietin receptor.

Quick tips

  • Romy Injection is used to increase the number of platelets (cells that help the blood to clot) in order to decrease the risk of bleeding in adults.
  • Your platelet level will be checked for at least 2 weeks after you finish your treatment with Romy Injection.
  • Inform your doctor if you have or have ever had a blood clot, bleeding problems, any type of cancer that affects your blood cells. Also, tell your doctor if you have had your spleen removed.
  • You may experience joint or muscle pain as a result of this medication.  Ask your healthcare provider if you may take mild pain medicine to relieve this.
  • Avoid sun exposure. Wear SPF 15 (or higher) sunblock and protective clothing.
  • Continue to avoid activities that may cause injury and bleeding during your treatment with Romy Injection.
