Renocrit 10000 IU Injection

About

Renocrit 10000 Injection is a medication that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. It is primarily used to treat anemia resulting from kidney disease. It is also effective in managing anemia caused by chemotherapy for cancer and certain HIV treatments.

This injection is administered either under the skin or into a vein, as directed by your doctor. Typically, it is given by a healthcare professional such as a nurse or doctor.
