Recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) injection is a medication used to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the body. It is commonly prescribed for patients with anemia, particularly those with chronic kidney disease or undergoing certain treatments like chemotherapy that can decrease red blood cell counts.
The dosage you mentioned, "10000 IU," likely refers to the strength of the medication in International Units (IU). This dosage is commonly used for treating anemia associated with certain medical conditions.
As with any medication, it's important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist carefully. They can provide you with information on how to properly administer the injection and any precautions or potential side effects associated with its use. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, don't hesitate to discuss them with your healthcare provider
