WHAT EPREX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
EPREX contains the active substance epoetin alfa - a protein that
stimulates the bone marrow to
produce more red blood cells which carry haemoglobin (a substance that
transports oxygen). Epoetin
alfa is a copy of the human protein erythropoietin
(ee-rith-roe-po-eh-tin) and acts in the same way.

EPREX IS USED TO TREAT SYMPTOMATIC ANAEMIA CAUSED BY KIDNEY DISEASE

in children on haemodialysis

in adults on haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis

in severely anaemic adults not yet undergoing dialysis.
If you have kidney disease, you may be short of red blood cells if
your kidney does not produce
enough erythropoietin (necessary for red cell production). EPREX is
prescribed to stimulate
your bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.

EPREX IS USED TO TREAT ANAEMIA IN ADULTS RECEIVING CHEMOTHERAPY FOR
SOLID TUMOURS,
malignant lymphoma or multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) who may
have a need for a
blood transfusion. EPREX can reduce the need for a blood transfusion
in these patients.
