Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml

Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml 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.

Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml 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, Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml 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 Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml during pregnancy and nursing. Store this medicine at 2°C-8°C. Do not freeze.

Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml is used to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney illness, cancer, and HIV infection. The detailed uses of Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml are as follows:

• Anemia due to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml helps correct anemia in patients with CKD, especially those on dialysis, by replacing the deficient natural erythropoietin.
• Anemia from Chemotherapy: Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml is used in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to reduce the need for blood transfusions.
• Pre-surgical Use: Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml is sometimes given before major elective surgeries (like orthopedic procedures) to reduce the need for transfusions.
• HIV-related Anemia: Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml is used in patients receiving zidovudine (AZT), which can suppress bone marrow function.

• It is usually injected one to three times weekly. However, follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and timing of Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml for better results.
• Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml may be given by a doctor/nurse, or you may be told to inject the medication at home. In that case, a healthcare provider will show you how to inject the medication. Be sure that you understand the directions and use it exactly as advised.
• Rotate the injection site each time. Do not inject into a spot that is tender, red, bruised, hard, or has scars or stretch marks.

Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml 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. Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml 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, Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml 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 Erypro Prefil 4000 IU Injection 1 ml during pregnancy and nursing.
