How does Epogen Treat Anemia?
Epogen belongs to the drug class of erythropoiesis stimulating agents which produce erythropoietin. Erythropoietin is a human protein produced in the kidneys that regulates and increases red blood cell production. Injected Epogen stimulates erythropoietin, which increases red blood cell production and hemoglobin levels. Epogen reduces and controls anemia symptoms, however, Epogen does not cure anemia.
