How do you take Doptelet before a medical or dental procedure?

When used to reduce the risk of bleeding and low platelet counts in adults with chronic liver disease scheduled to undergo a medical or dental procedure, Doptelet is taken once a day for 5 days in a row, starting 10 to 13 days before the procedure.

• The recommended daily dose is based on the patient’s platelet count prior to the scheduled procedure.
• If the platelet count is less than 40 x10⁹/L, the dose is 60mg (3 tablets) orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
• If the platelet count is 40 to less than 50 x10⁹/L, the dose is 40mg (2 tablets) orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
• Doptelet should be taken with food.

Patients should undergo their procedure 5 to 8 days after the last dose of Doptelet.

Doptelet is available as a 20 mg oral tablet.
