WHAT NEORECORMON IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NeoRecormon is a clear, colourless solution for injection under the
skin
_(subcutaneously)_
or into a
vein
_(intravenously). _
It contains a hormone called
_epoetin beta_
, which stimulates the production of red
blood cells. Epoetin beta is produced by a specialised genetic
technology and works in exactly the
same way as the natural hormone erythropoietin.
You must talk to your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel
worse.
