Epiao injection 10000 (Epoetin Alfa) is primarily used to treat anemia, particularly anemia caused by chronic kidney disease.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of its uses:
-
Anemia due to Chronic Renal Failure (CRF): Epiao is used to treat anemia in patients with CRF, including those on hemodialysis (HD) and those not on dialysis (ND). By stimulating red blood cell production, Epiao helps to increase hemoglobin levels and reduce the need for blood transfusions.
-
Reducing the Need for Allogeneic Red Blood Cell Transfusions in Peri-operative Patients: Epiao can be used in patients undergoing surgery to help minimize the need for transfusions of blood from donors (allogeneic transfusions). This is particularly relevant for patients at risk of significant blood loss during surgery.
In essence, Epiao 10000 helps stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, thereby alleviating anemia and its associated symptoms.
