About Epoetin Alfa Hexal
Epoetin Alfa Hexal can only be obtained with a prescription and treatment must be started under the supervision of a doctor who has experience in the management of patients with the conditions that Epoetin Alfa Hexal is used for.
What it is used for
Epoetin Alfa Hexal is used for patients with kidney failure, myelodysplastic syndromes or receiving chemotherapy, to keep haemoglobin levels within the recommended range (between 10 and 12 grams per decilitre in adults and between 9.5 and 11 g/dl in children).
How it is used
The iron levels of all patients should be checked to make sure that they are not too low, and iron supplements given if necessary. Epoetin Alfa Hexal is available in pre-filled syringes of various strengths and is given as an injection into a vein or as an injection under the skin, depending on the condition for which the patient is being treated.
How it works
The active substance in Epoetin Alfa Hexal, epoetin alfa, is a copy of a hormone called erythropoietin, and works in exactly the same way as the natural hormone to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
