What is epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol?
Epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol is a man-made form of a protein that is normally produced by the kidneys to help your body produce red blood cells. This protein in your body may be reduced when you have kidney failure. When fewer red blood cells are produced, you can develop a condition called anemia. Epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol is used to treat anemia (a lack of red blood cells in the body). This medication is not for treating anemia caused by cancer chemotherapy. Epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
