epoetin alfa

Epoetin alfa is a medication that mimics a natural hormone called erythropoietin, which is produced by your kidneys. Its main role is to stimulate your bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body. It’s commonly used for people with anemia, often caused by chronic kidney disease or cancer treatments, to help improve energy levels and reduce symptoms related to low red blood cell counts. The medication is given by injection and works by correcting deficiencies in red blood cell production, supporting better oxygen delivery and overall health.
