CERA (Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator)

CERA (Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator) is a medication used to treat anemia, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease. It mimics the natural hormone erythropoietin, which signals the body to produce more red blood cells. CERA is designed to stay active in the body longer than traditional erythropoietin treatments, allowing for less frequent dosing. By stimulating red blood cell production, CERA helps improve oxygen delivery throughout the body, reducing symptoms like fatigue and weakness associated with anemia. It’s administered via injection under medical supervision to maintain healthy red blood cell levels.
