Erythropoietin is the generic version for Epofer 10000 iu/ml Injection
Epofer 10000 iu/ml Injection contains an active ingredient, Erythropoietin, which is used in the treatment of anemia due to chronic kidney disease and anemia due to chemotherapy. Anemia refers to condition where there is a decreased level of red blood cells (RBCs). Patients of chronic kidney disease (CKD) slowly develop anemia, which get worsens as the disease progresses. As the kidneys partially but permanently lose their functions in CKD, there is not enough formation of erythropoietin. This hormone promotes RBCs formation by the bone marrow. As a result, formation of RBCs is affected, leading to fewer RBCs than normal. Certain types of cancer which affect blood & bone marrow, such as, multiple myeloma, leukemia, & lymphoma, can crowd out red blood cells. Also, cancer treatment, including chemotherapy & radiotherapy, leads to anemia in cancer patients. This happens when some drugs or radiation kill the red blood cells along with the targeted cancerous cells. This medicine is available at all the leading pharmacy, drugstores, & medical supply stores & must be taken strictly by doctor’s prescription only.
