About Wepox 10000 IU Injection:

Wepox 10000 IU Injection contains the active ingredient Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa/ Epoetin Alfa, a synthetic protein that helps regulate the production of red blood cells. It is used to treat anemia caused by severe kidney disease, cancer treatments, or during surgeries to reduce the need for blood transfusions. Anemia is characterized by a low red blood cell count, often worsening with chronic kidney disease due to reduced erythropoietin production by the kidneys.
