Epoetin is used to treat anemia resulting from a deficiency in red blood cell production, especially in patients with chronic kidney failure or those receiving chemotherapy. It stimulates the bone marrow to increase hemoglobin production, which helps improve energy levels and reduce fatigue. It is used under close medical supervision and is often given by injection on a regular schedule depending on the patient's condition. Its results do not appear immediately, but rather require continuous monitoring and periodic blood level tests. It does not cause drowsiness and can improve the ability to perform daily activities over time. The dose must be adhered to and treatment should not be stopped suddenly without consulting a doctor.
Epoetin helps improve the quality of life in patients with chronic anemia and reduces the need for blood transfusions.
