Nplate (romiplostim) is a man-made form of a protein that increases production of platelets (blood-clotting cells) in your body.
Nplate is a prescription medicine used to prevent bleeding episodes in people with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a bleeding condition caused by a lack of platelets in the blood.
Nplate is for use in adults and children who are at least 1 year old.
Nplate is also used to treat people including newborns who have been exposed to high levels of radiation (acute radiation syndrome). The effectiveness of Nplate for this use was only studied in animals, because it could not be studied in people.
