ERYPEG 50

Erypeg 50mcg injection contains active components such as Recombinant human erythropoietin alfa/epoetin alfa. It is a specialized medication that belongs to a class of drugs called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). This beneficial medication is used to treat anaemia specifically caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD), cancer chemotherapy, or anaemia resulting from HIV infection treatment with zidovudine. Furthermore, it also effectively reduces the need for red blood cell transfusions in patients who are at a high risk for blood loss due to planned surgery or other medical procedures.

Erypeg 50mcg injection should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to it or any of its components. It is also contraindicated in individuals with uncontrolled hypertension, active thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), uncontrolled seizures, during pregnancy, or while lactating. This injection should also be used cautiously in patients with a history of blood clots, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, liver disease, thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, leukemia, or other forms of cancer.

It should only be used in children under 18 years of age if the potential benefits clearly outweigh the associated risks. Older adults who are taking this medication should be closely monitored for any potential side effects. Before commencing treatment with this medication, it is critically important to talk to your doctor extensively about both the risks and the benefits of Erypeg 50mcg injection.
