Overview of Relipoietin 10000 IU Injection (Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa/ Epoetin Alfa):

Relipoietin 10000 IU Injection contains Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa/ Epoetin Alfa, a synthetic version of a protein that controls red blood cell production. It is used to treat anemia caused by severe kidney disease or cancer treatments and to reduce the need for blood transfusions in certain surgeries. Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in red blood cells (RBCs). In chronic kidney disease (CKD), anemia worsens as kidney function declines, leading to insufficient erythropoietin (a hormone that stimulates RBC production in the bone marrow). Additionally, types of cancer like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma can also result in anemia, compounded by chemotherapy and radiation therapy that destroy red blood cells. This medication is available through pharmacies and should only be used under a doctor’s prescription.
