Erypro Prefill 4000iu Injection 1ml

Erypro Prefill 4000iu Injection 1ml is used to treat different types of anaemia caused by chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, HIV treatment, or low erythropoietin levels. It works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, thereby improving haemoglobin levels. This injection also helps reduce the need for blood transfusions and supports patients undergoing dialysis or surgery.

• This medicine must be administered by a trained medical professional.

Erypro Prefill 4000iu Injection 1ml is administered intravenously or subcutaneously.

Erypro Prefill 4000iu Injection 1ml contains erythropoietin (4000 IU), which works in your body through several mechanisms:

• Stimulates erythropoiesis: Erythropoietin mimics your body's natural hormone that triggers the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, a process called erythropoiesis.

• Binds to receptors: It attaches to specific receptors on red blood cell precursors in your bone marrow, activating them to develop into mature cells.

• Promotes cell differentiation: Erythropoietin encourages immature blood cells to develop and mature into functional red blood cells that can carry oxygen throughout your body.

• Increases haemoglobin levels: By boosting red blood cell production, this medicine helps raise haemoglobin levels in your blood, improving oxygen delivery to tissues and organs.

• Reduces transfusion needs: Through its action on blood cell production, it decreases the need for blood transfusions in patients with certain types of anaemia.

• Store Erypro Prefill 4000iu Injection 1ml in a refrigerator between 2 and 8°C.

• Do not freeze or shake the solution vigorously.

• Protect from light exposure.

• Keep out of children's reach.

• Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the package.

• Maintain adequate iron intake through iron-rich foods (like leafy greens, beans, and red meat), as this helps your body respond better to erythropoietin treatment and supports red blood cell production.

• Stay well-hydrated and follow a balanced diet with sufficient protein to support your kidney function and help manage anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease.
