什么是 Procrit？
Procrit (epoetin alfa) is a prescription injection used to treat anemia.
Red blood cells are the key players in anemia. Patients with anemia do not produce sufficient amounts of erythropoietin, a hormone naturally made in the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production. Procrit helps by stimulating the production of red blood cells just as erythropoietin would.
Procrit belongs to a family of medications called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA). ESA therapy can only be used in certain types of anemia, and it has been shown to improve a patient’s quality of life and symptoms. Patients should be closely monitored to prevent complications. Routine blood work is needed in order to prevent therapy complications.
What is Procrit Used to Treat?
Procrit is used to treat Anemia due to 3 conditions:
- Chronic kidney disease: Procrit should be initiated when hemoglobin levels are less than 10 g/dl for patients with chronic kidney disease. Procrit therapy should be stopped, or the dose should be reduced when hemoglobin exceeds 11 g/dl.
- Chemotherapy-induced anemia: Procrit should be initiated when hemoglobin levels are less than 10 g/dl and when at least 2 more chemotherapy cycles are anticipated. Procrit therapy should be stopped, or the dose should be reduced when hemoglobin exceeds 11 g/dl.
- Anemia due to Zidovudine use: Procrit should be initiated when hemoglobin is less than 11 g/dl for HIV patients on zidovudine and therapy should be stopped when hemoglobin exceeds 12 g/dl.
Procrit can also be used when a patient is undergoing surgery, and there will be an excessive amount of blood loss.
Procrit can be given as an intravenous infusion or as a subcutaneous injection. Usually, the intravenous route is preferred for patients on dialysis. Use of Procrit will lead to fewer red blood cell transfusions and improvement of symptoms. As mentioned above, hemoglobin levels and iron status should be monitored before initiation and during the use of Procrit.
