About
VINTOR is a recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) product, indicated for the treatment of anemia associated with various chronic conditions, most notably chronic kidney disease (CKD). Erythropoietin is a hormone naturally produced by the kidneys that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. In patients with CKD, impaired kidney function often leads to insufficient EPO production, resulting in anemia. VINTOR replaces this deficient hormone, stimulating erythropoiesis and increasing red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels. This therapeutic intervention helps to correct anemia, reduce the need for blood transfusions, alleviate symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, and significantly improve the overall quality of life for affected individuals. It is administered intravenously or subcutaneously under strict medical supervision, with dosage tailored to the patient's specific needs and response.
