Eltrombopag has shown to increase the risk of hepatic decompensation in patients with chronic hepatitis C in treatment with interferon and ribavirin.

Patients with chronic hepatitis and receiving antiviral treatment should be closely monitored. The manufacturers also recommend to discontinue eltrombopag if the antiviral therapy is discontinued.
