What are some important things I should know about Procrit?
Procrit can lead to serious side effects. Patients who use Procrit are at an increased risk of injury to their kidney or kidney failure. Also, patients with certain types of cancer risk an accelerated progression of tumors and a shortened survival time. Finally, Procrit can cause blood clots, especially during surgical procedures, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
