EPOTRUST 2000IU INJECTION 1ML is a human-made form of naturally occurring erythropoiesis-stimulating protein or erythropoietin (a hormone produced by the kidney’s specialized cells and is responsible for protecting red blood cells against destruction and also stimulates the cells of bone marrow to produce more amount of red blood cells). Deficiency of erythropoietin happens when a person is suffering from chronic kidney diseases, which in turn causes low red blood cells count causing anemia.  This medicine is primarily indicated for treating anemia (low red blood cell count) in persons with long-term serious (chronic) kidney disease, persons receiving chemotherapy for some types of cancer except for bone marrow or blood cells cancer, and persons taking zidovudine to treat HIV(human immunodeficiency virus). EPOTRUST 2000IU INJECTION 1ML is also used to reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions in adults having certain types of surgery. EPOTRUST 2000IU INJECTION 1ML contains a protein ‘Epoetin alfa’ which works by providing signals to the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. 

EPOTRUST 2000IU INJECTION 1ML will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer.
