Dropoetin is a synthetic form of Epoetin Alfa (Erythropoietin) used to supplement the hormone in cases where there is a deficiency. Erythropoietin is normally produced by the kidneys and plays a vital role in controlling the production of red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body. A deficiency in erythropoietin can lead to various forms of severe anemia, resulting in inadequate oxygen supply to different body parts.
Dropoetin is prescribed for treating anemia in individuals with chronic kidney disease, HIV, or cancer, as well as for those experiencing anemia due to chemotherapy. It may also be utilized to enhance red blood cell production in patients prior to certain surgical procedures.
