Eprex 2000 U, injection solution (Fertigspritzen)

( ARTG ) Eprex is indicated for the treatment of patients with symptomatic or transfusion requiring anaemia associated with chronic renal failure to improve their quality of life by improving energy levels, exercise performance, fatigue and sleep patterns and by reducing the need for blood transfusions. Eprex is also indicated for the treatment of anaemia and reduction of transfusion in patients with non-myeloid malignancies where anaemia develops as a result of concomitantly administered chemotherapy. Eprex is also indicated in adult patients with mild- to-moderate anaemia (haemoglobin > 100 to <= 130 g/L) scheduled for elective surgery with an expected moderate blood loss (2-4 units or 900 to 1800 mL) to reduce exposure to allogeneic blood transfusion and to facilitate erythropoietic recovery. EPREX is also indicated to augment autologous blood collection and to limit the decline in haemoglobin in anaemic adult patients who are scheduled for major elective surgery and who are not expected to pre-deposit their complete peri-operative blood needs
