Erypro Prefill 10000IU Injection contains recombinant human erythropoietin alfa (epoetin alfa) as its active component. It belongs to the class of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and is used to treat anaemia caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD), cancer chemotherapy, or HIV infection treatment with zidovudine. The injection also reduces the need for red blood cell transfusions in patients at high risk for blood loss due to planned surgery or other procedures.
Erypro Prefill 10000IU Injection should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to it or any of its components, uncontrolled hypertension, active thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), uncontrolled seizures, pregnancy, or lactation. Caution is advised in patients with a history of blood clots, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, liver disease, thalassemia, sickle cell anaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, leukaemia, or cancer. Use in children under 18 should occur only when benefits outweigh risks. Older adults receiving this medication require close monitoring for adverse effects.
