WHAT BINOCRIT
® IS USED FOR
BINOCRIT
®
is used to treat
symptomatic anemia caused by
kidney disease
-
in children on hemodialysis
-
in adults on hemodialysis, peritoneal
dialysis or 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).
BINOCRIT
®
is prescribed to stimulate
your bone marrow to produce more red
blood cells.
BINOCRIT
®
is used to treat anemia if you
are receiving chemotherapy for solid
tumors, malignant lymphoma or multiple
myeloma (bone marrow cancer) and your
doctor decides you may have a need for a
blood transfusion. BINOCRIT
®
can
reduce the need for a blood transfusion.
BINOCRIT
®
is used in moderately
anemic people who donate some of their
blood before surgery, so that it can be
given back to them during or after the
operation. Because BINOCRIT
®
stimulates the production of red blood
cells, doctors can take more blood from
these people.
BINOCRIT
®
is used in moderately
anemic adults about to have major
orthopedic surgery (for example hip or
knee replacement operations), to reduce
the potential need for blood transfusions.
BINOCRIT
®
is used to treat anemia in
adults with low- or intermediate-1-risk
myelodysplastic syndromes. BINOCRIT
®
can reduce the need for a blood
transfusion.
HOW BINOCRIT
® WORKS
BINOCRIT
®
contains the active
substance epoetin alfa - a protein that
stimulates the bone marrow to produce
more red blood cells which carry
hemoglobin (a substance that transports
oxygen). Epoeti
