EPO (Erythropoietin) Deus Medical

Product Overview
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a synthetic version of the natural hormone produced by the kidneys. It is commonly used to treat anemia, particularly in individuals suffering from chronic kidney disease, cancer, or those receiving HIV treatment with Zidovudine. EPO is typically available as a 10mg/vial formulation, containing 3000 IU of erythropoietin along with other excipients.

How EPO Works
Erythropoietin acts as a growth factor secreted by the kidneys, promoting the production of red blood cells. It stimulates the differentiation of precursor cells in the bone marrow, resulting in an increase in red blood cell production. Within 10 days of starting treatment, there is an observable rise in reticulocyte count, with a noticeable increase in RBC count within 2 to 6 weeks. EPO binds to specific receptors in the body, triggering a series of biological events that support red blood cell formation and prevent cell death. The hormone has a half-life of 4 to 6 hours in healthy individuals.

Recommended Dosage
As directed by a healthcare provider.

Possible Side Effects
Potential side effects may include elevated blood pressure, heart failure, blood clot formation, allergic reactions, and seizures.
