Prescription RequiredAbout Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs
Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs 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 in those due to undergo major bone surgery. Anaemia refers to low blood counts due to a deficiency of blood component haemoglobin, resulting in a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs contains Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Alfa that works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, thereby correcting any low blood counts and anaemia.
In some cases, Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs may cause certain 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 over time. 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 RBC’s). Consult your doctor before taking Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs during pregnancy and nursing.

Medicinal Benefits
Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs 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. Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.

Clinically, Epotrend 4K Inj Pfs causes a direct increase in haemoglobin values and reduces the rates and requirement of blood transfusion.
