Uses of Relipoietin Injection
Benefits of Relipoietin Injection
In Treatment of Anemia due to cancer chemotherapy
Anemia is a condition where your body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen around your body. Relipoietin 10000IU Injection is a man-made protein that works by stimulating the bone marrow (soft tissue inside the bones) to produce more red blood cells. The natural human form of this protein may be reduced when you are having chemotherapy to treat some types of cancer. An injection of the medicine can reduce the need to have a blood transfusion. You may also be given iron supplements to make the treatment more effective.
How Relipoietin 10000 IU Injection WorksRelipoietin 10000 IU Injection contains erythropoietin, a biological agent that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. This process is essential for treating anaemia commonly associated with chronic kidney disease and cancer chemotherapy. By increasing red blood cell production, Relipoietin helps improve oxygen-carrying capacity and alleviate symptoms related to anaemia.
Proper Usage and AdministrationThis injection is administered either subcutaneously (under the skin) or intravenously (into a vein) and should always be performed by a qualified healthcare professional. The dosage and frequency are tailored to each patient's condition and response to treatment. Patients are advised not to self-administer.
