Benefits of Renocrit 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. Renocrit 4000IU 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.
