What you need to know before you use Aranesp
Do not use Aranesp:
-
if you are allergic to darbepoetin alfa or any of the other
ingredients of this medicine
(listed in section 6).
-
if you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure which is not being
controlled with
other medicines prescribed by your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using Aranesp.
Please tell your doctor if you are suffering or have suffered from:
-
high blood pressure which is being controlled with medicines
prescribed by your doctor;
-
sickle cell anaemia;
-
epileptic fits (seizures);
-
convulsions (fits or seizures);
-
liver disease;
-
significant lack of response to medicines used to treat anaemia;
-
an allergy to latex (the needle cap on the pre-filled syringe contains
a derivative of latex); or
-
hepatitis C.
Special warnings:
-
If you have symptoms which include unusual tiredness and a lack of
energy this could
mean you have pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), which has been reported in
patients. PRCA
means that the body has stopped or reduced the production of red blood
cells which
causes severe anaemia. If you experience these symptoms you should
contact your
doctor who will determine the best course of action to treat your
anaemia.
-
Take special care with other products that stimulate red blood cell
production: Aranesp is
one of a group of products that stimulate the production of red blood
cells like the human
protein erythropoietin does. Your healthcare professional should
always record the exact
product you are using.
-
If you are a patient with chronic renal failure, and particularly if
you do not respond
properly to Aranesp, your doctor will check your dose of Aranesp
because repeatedly
increasing your dose of Aranesp if you are not responding to treatment
may increase
the risk of having a problem of the hear
