About this product

Overview

Eritrogen 2000iu injection contains Epoetin Alfa (2000iu). It comes as a injection. The pack contains 6 vial injection.

Epoetin alfa is a laboratory made version of erythropoietin, the hormone the kidneys release to tell the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. It is given by injection when the body cannot make enough of that signal on its own.

Uses of Eritrogen 2000iu injection

Eritrogen 2000iu injection is used for:

  • Anaemia caused by long term kidney disease, including patients on dialysis
  • Anaemia related to chemotherapy
  • Reducing the need for blood transfusion in selected patients

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Eritrogen 2000iu injection can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:

  • Raised blood pressure
  • Headache and joint aches
  • Pain or redness where the injection is given

Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.

Precautions

Blood pressure and haemoglobin are monitored closely during treatment, because pushing the red cell count too high raises the risk of clotting. Iron stores are usually checked as well, since the marrow cannot respond without enough iron. The injection needs cold storage, so keep it refrigerated and never freeze it.

Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How to Use

Eritrogen 2000iu injection is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse, or by you only if you have been shown how to do it. Follow the instructions you were given and read the leaflet. Read the leaflet inside the pack before you start.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack. Some injections need to be kept in a fridge, so check the label. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.
