Zentamin 40 Injection
| Zentamin 40 injection is used to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney disease and some types of chemotherapy. Zentamin 40 is a form of erythropoietin (a substance naturally made by the kidneys) that is made in the laboratory. It helps the bone marrow make more red blood cells. Zentamin 40 contains Darbepoetin alfa it binds to the erythropoietin receptor on erythroid progenitor cells, stimulating RBC production and differentiation. This often occurs in people with chronic kidney failure whose kidneys are not working properly. Darbepoetin may be used for patients on kidney dialysis or for those not on dialysis. |
