Key Benefits
MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION 0.3ML 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 stimulates the cells of bone marrow to produce more amount of red blood cells). A deficiency of erythropoietin happens when a person suffers from chronic kidney disease, which causes a low red blood cell count, causing anaemia. This medicine is primarily used for treating anaemia (low red blood cell count) in persons with long-term serious (chronic) kidney disease and those receiving chemotherapy for some types of cancer except bone marrow or blood cell cancer. MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION 0.3ML is also used to reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions in adults having certain types of surgery. MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION 0.3ML contains a protein, ‘Epoetin beta’, which signals the bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
