Salt Composition

Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa (4000IU)

Overview Epocept 4000IU Injection

Erythropoietin injection (4000 IU) stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. It's indicated for anemia stemming from kidney disease, cancer chemotherapy, or HIV medications. Administration, either subcutaneous or intravenous, is determined by your physician and typically performed by a healthcare professional. Dosage is individualized based on weight and the underlying cause of anemia. Concurrent iron supplementation often enhances treatment efficacy. Refrigerated storage is required, but the injection should reach room temperature before use. Common side effects, often most pronounced initially, include nausea, vomiting, fever, hypertension, and flu-like symptoms (headache, fatigue, dizziness, myalgia). Persistent side effects warrant discussion with your doctor, who may suggest mitigating strategies. Report serious adverse events, such as seizures, immediately. Serious blood clots, requiring immediate medical attention, are a potential complication. Prior to treatment, disclose any history of uncontrolled hypertension, heart disease, or gout. Inform your doctor of all other medications you're taking to avoid potential interactions. Regular blood pressure monitoring and other lab tests are essential to monitor safety and efficacy. The medication's effects on pregnancy are unknown; disclose pregnancy, pregnancy plans, or breastfeeding to your physician.
