Cresp 40 Prefilled Syringe is administered subcutaneously.

Cresp 40 Prefilled Syringe contains Darbepoetin Alfa (0.04 MG) which works in your body as follows:

• Stimulates Red Blood Cell Production: Darbepoetin alfa is a man-made type of erythropoietin, a hormone naturally produced by your kidneys. This hormone stimulates the production of red blood cells in your bone marrow.

• Increases Oxygen-Carrying Capacity: By increasing red blood cell levels, darbepoetin alfa improves the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood. This helps alleviate symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath associated with anaemia.

• Activates Erythropoietin Receptors: Darbepoetin alfa binds to and activates erythropoietin receptors on red blood cell precursors in your bone marrow. This activation promotes the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of these precursor cells into mature red blood cells.

• Store your Cresp 40 Prefilled Syringe between 2°C and 8°C, in a cool and dry place.

• Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or moisture.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children.

• Engage in regular light exercise as it can help improve fatigue and weakness associated with anaemia.

• Maintain a diet rich in iron, like leafy greens and lean meats. This supports red blood cell production, complementing the effects of Cresp 40 Prefilled Syringe.
