RECORMON IN SYRINGES ERYTHROPOIETIN

Recormon Pre-filled Syringes (Epoetin Beta)

Recormon Pre-filled Syringes contain epoetin beta, a man-made protein that acts just like a natural substance in your body to help make red blood cells. It is used to treat low red blood cell counts (anemia) caused by long-term kidney disease or cancer treatments.

What It Is Used For

This medicine is prescribed for:

• Treating anemia caused by long-term kidney disease in adults and children

• Treating anemia caused by certain chemotherapy medicines in adults

• Helping patients store their own blood safely before surgery

Main Ingredients

• Epoetin Beta: A man-made protein that signals your bone marrow to produce healthy red blood cells.

• Other Ingredients: Includes water for injections, salts, urea, and stabilizers to keep the medicine safe in the syringe.

Important Safety Warnings

🚨 Blood Pressure Check:

This medicine can raise your blood pressure. Your doctor will need to check and manage your blood pressure regularly before and during your treatment.

Having too many red blood cells can increase the risk of dangerous blood clots, heart problems, or strokes. Your doctor will do regular blood tests to keep your levels safe.
