Eprex is used to treat anemia caused by kidney disease, in children on dialysis, in adults on dialysis or peritoneal dialysis, and in adults who have severe anemia but are not yet on peritoneal dialysis. Your doctor has recommended Eprex to stimulate your bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.
Eprex is also used to treat anemia if you are receiving chemotherapy for solid tumors, cancer, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, and your doctor decides that you need a blood transfusion.
Eprex can reduce the need for a blood transfusion.
