<!-- Chemical data -->
Romiplostim treatment is administered by weekly ]s, using a variable dosage determined by analysis of the patient's ] at the time of treatment. The goal is to maintain the count above 50,000 per cubic millimeter of blood, not to achieve a normal count (defined as 150,000&ndash;450,000 per mm<sup>3</sup> in most healthy individuals). If a sustained count of 200,000 or higher is achieved for more than two weeks a reduced dose is administered or treatment is suspended until the count decreases below 200,000. Discontinuation of romiplostim must be approached with great caution, as a rapid decrease in the platelet count may occur, possibly leading to ].

'''Romiplostim''', sold under the brand name '''Nplate''' among others, is a ] analog of ], a ] that regulates ] production.
Romiplostim's effect is to stimulate the patient's ]s to produce platelets at a more rapid than normal rate, thus overwhelming the ]'s ability to destroy them. As doing so involves changes to the ] chemistry, a number of potentially serious ] may develop, including ], joint and extremity discomfort, ], ], which may lead to potentially fatal ]s, and ], the latter which may result in an ] in the ].

The most common side effects in adults include headache, infections of the nose and throat, and allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions such as rash, itching and rapid swelling under the skin.<ref name="Nplate EPAR" /> The most common side effects in children include infections of the nose and throat, runny nose, cough, fever, mouth and throat pain, abdominal (belly) pain, diarrhea, rash, and bruising.<ref name="Nplate EPAR" />
