NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
Nespo 10 micrograms solution for injection in a pre-filled syringe.
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each pre-filled syringe contains 10 micrograms of darbepoetin alfa in
0.4 ml (25 µg/ml).
Darbepoetin alfa is produced by gene-technology in Chinese Hamster
Ovary Cells (CHO-K1).
For excipients, see section 6.1.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Nespo treatment should be initiated by physicians experienced in the
above mentioned indications.
Nespo is supplied ready for use in a pre-filled syringe. The
instructions for use, handling and disposal
are given in section 6.6.
_TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMATIC ANAEMIA IN ADULT AND PAEDIATRIC CHRONIC
RENAL FAILURE PATIENTS _
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. Nespo
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 the 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 12 g/dl (7.5 mmol/l). A sustained haemoglobin level of
greater than 12 g/dl
(7.5 mmol/l
