ACTORISE 25MG

Actorise 25Mcg/0.42Ml Inj is classified as a ‘blood-forming agent’ and is primarily utilized to treat anaemia (a low red blood cell count) in individuals with long-term serious (chronic) kidney disease and those undergoing chemotherapy for certain types of cancer (excluding cancers of the bone marrow or blood cells). This medication aids in reversing anaemia and decreasing the necessity for blood transfusions. Anaemia arises when the body has a reduced quantity of red blood cells or haemoglobin. In cases of chronic kidney disease, the kidneys become damaged and fail to filter the blood effectively, resulting in anaemia.

Actorise 25Mcg/0.42Ml Inj contains the protein ‘Darbepoetin alfa’, which signals the bone marrow to increase the production of red blood cells. It acts as a biologic response modifier and an erythropoiesis-stimulating protein. In chronic kidney disease, when the kidneys do not produce enough ‘erythropoietin protein’ necessary for red blood cell formation, Actorise 25Mcg/0.42Ml Inj stimulates the bone marrow to produce this protein.

The injection of Actorise 25Mcg/0.42Ml Inj will be administered by a healthcare professional. Self-administration is not advised. Common side effects associated with Actorise 25Mcg/0.42Ml Inj include shortness of breath, cough, low blood pressure during dialysis, headache, body aches, diarrhea, pain at the injection site, and abdominal discomfort. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical intervention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if side effects persist, it is important to contact your doctor.

If you have uncontrolled or untreated high blood pressure or red cell aplasia (a form of anaemia) caused by darbepoetin alfa or epoetin alfa, please notify your doctor prior to using Actorise 25Mcg/0.42Ml Inj to prevent any complications. Additionally, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking that may influence the effectiveness of Actorise 25Mcg/0.42Ml Inj. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience weakness, lightheadedness, fatigue, shortness of breath, or if your skin appears pale, as these may indicate that the body is experiencing adverse effects.
