Epofer 10000 Injection belongs to the group of hormones used in the treatment of chronic anaemia and anaemic states seen in kidney disease, cancers, patients on chemotherapy, bone marrow disorders, and those due to undergo major bone surgery. Anaemia refers to low blood counts due to a deficiency of the blood component haemoglobin, resulting in a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Epofer 10000 Injection contains Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa, which works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, thereby correcting low blood counts and anaemia.

In some cases, Epofer 10000 Injection may cause specific common side effects such as vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, and nasal congestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects consistently.

Please inform the doctor of your detailed medical history, including hypertension, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, cancer, liver disease, thromboembolism, porphyria and/or pure red cell aplasia (where the bone marrow cannot produce enough RBCs). Consult your doctor before taking Epofer 10000 Injection during pregnancy and nursing. Store this medicine at 2°C-8°C. Do not freeze.

Epofer 10000 Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. In some cases, depending on the need, you may have to self-inject Epofer 10000 Injection. Do not self-inject without proper training. After an initial treatment, your doctor/nurse may train you on administering the injection.

Epofer 10000 Injection is a blood hormone. It contains Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa used to treat anaemia caused by chronic diseases and anaemia related to kidney disease, cancers, bone marrow disorders, chemotherapy, children and adults on dialysis, and in those due to undergo major bone surgery. Epofer 10000 Injection stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. In addition, it also corrects any dysregulated erythropoiesis (RBC formation) and remedies the formation of any defunct precursors of RBC’s, paving the way for healthy red blood cell production. Clinically, Epofer 10000 Injection causes a direct increase in haemoglobin values and reduces the rates and requirement of blood transfusion.

Inform the doctor if you have an allergy to any of its components. Proceed with caution in case of a latex allergy. Please inform the doctor of your detailed medical history, including hypertension, heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, epilepsy, head and neck cancers, liver disease, thromboembolism, porphyria and/or pure red cell aplasia (where the bone marrow cannot produce enough RBCs). Inform your doctor of any medicines you may be taking especially if you are on any immunosuppressants, blood thinners or blood stimulants. Please consult your doctor before taking Epofer 10000 Injection during pregnancy and nursing.
