WHAT DYNEPO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Epoetin delta is a human erythropoietin made by a technology process
called gene-activation, which
uses a human cell line.
Epoetin delta is a hormone which stimulates the production of red
blood cells in the bone marrow. Red
blood cells are very important since they contain haemoglobin, a
protein which distributes oxygen in
your body.
Dynepo is used for treating the symptoms of anaemia (which include
tiredness, weakness and shortness of
breath) associated with chronic renal failure in adult patients
, Anaemia is a blood disorder characterised by
a decrease in red blood cells. Dynepo may be used in patients on
dialysis (a bl

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Dynepo is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic anaemia
associated with chronic renal failure (CRF)
in adult patients. It may be used in patients on dialysis and in
patients not on dialysis.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment with Dynepo should be initiated by physicians experienced in
the treatment of anaemia
associated with CRF..
The dosage of Dynepo must be adjusted individually to maintain the
level of haemoglobin within the
target range of 10 to 12g/dl.
Anaemia symptoms and sequelae may vary with age, gender, and overall
burden of disease; a
physician’s evaluation of the individual patient’s clinical course
and condition is necessary. Dynepo
should be administered either subcutaneously or intravenously in order
to increase haemoglobin to not
greater than 12 g/dL (7.5 mmol/L). Subcutaneous use is preferable in
patients who are not receiving
haemodialysis to avoid puncture of peripheral veins.
Due to intra-patient variability, occasional individual haemoglobin
values for a patient above and
below the desired haemoglobin level may be observed. Haemoglobin
variability should be addressed
through dose management, with consideration for the haemoglobin target
range of 10 g/dL
(6.2 mmol/l) to 12g/dL (7.5mmol/l). A sustained haemoglobin level of
greater than 12 g/dL
(7.5 mmol/l) should be avoided; guidance for appropriate dose
