Epoetin is used to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the body. It is often given to patients suffering from anemia resulting from chronic kidney disease or chemotherapy. It works to stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, which helps improve energy levels and reduce fatigue. It is used under close medical supervision and according to a specific injection schedule. It should not be used without supervision because it affects blood components. Its effect can appear gradually over weeks after the start of treatment and may require adjustment of the dose according to the response. It does not cause drowsiness and gives the body a better ability to perform daily activities when the hemoglobin level improves.
