WHAT VAFSEO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vafseo is a medicine that increases the amount of haemoglobin (the
protein in your red blood cells
that carries oxygen around the body) and the number of red blood cells
in your blood. It contains the
active substance vadadustat.
Vafseo is used to treat symptomatic anaemia (low levels of red blood
cells or haemoglobin in your
blood) that is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults
on chronic maintenance dialysis.
When the amount of haemoglobin or the number of red blood cells is
low, the cells in your body might
not receive enough oxygen. Anaemia can cause symptoms such as
tiredness, weakness, or shortness of
breath.
HOW VAFSEO WORKS
Vafseo increases the level of a substance called “Hypoxia-Inducible
Factor” (HIF), which increases
the production of red blood cells when oxygen levels are low.
