How ESPOGEN WorksESPOGEN contains Epoetin Alfa, which mimics the body's natural erythropoietin hormone to stimulate erythropoiesis - the process of red blood cell production in bone marrow. By boosting red cell counts, ESPOGEN helps alleviate anemia commonly associated with chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, or HIV therapy.

The typical schedule is 1-3 times weekly, but this may vary. Avoid shaking the syringe, and do not use the solution if it appears cloudy or contains particles.
