Encourage 2000 IU Injection 1 ML contains Epoetin Alfa (2000 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Epoetin Alfa (2000 IU) is a synthetic form of erythropoietin, a natural hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. By increasing red blood cell levels, it helps improve oxygen transport in the blood, addressing symptoms of anaemia such as fatigue and weakness. Epoetin Alfa is particularly beneficial for patients with anaemia related to chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, or certain surgeries. This medication supports overall blood health and reduces the need for blood transfusions in these patients.

• Store Encourage 2000 IU Injection 1 ML inside its original package to safeguard it from light and moisture at room temperature below 30°C.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
• Use this injection before the expiration date printed on the package.

• Include iron-rich foods like leafy greens, lean meats, and legumes to support healthy red blood cell production.
• Gentle physical activity can improve blood circulation and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, but avoid strenuous activity if feeling fatigued.
