Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) injection is a man-made hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, treating anemia from kidney disease, cancer treatment, HIV medications, or major surgery. Administered as a shot under the skin or into a vein, common forms include Epoetin Alfa/Beta, with side effects like headache, nausea, fever, and increased blood pressure. Regular monitoring of blood counts and blood pressure is crucial during treatment.  

What it is & How it Works

• Hormone Replacement:

  rHuEPO mimics natural erythropoietin, a hormone your kidneys produce to signal bone marrow to make red blood cells. 

• Stimulates Red Blood Cells:

  It prompts stem cells in the bone marrow to create more red blood cells, increasing oxygen delivery to tissues and correcting anemia.
