Renocrit 4000IU Injection contains Recombinant human erythropoietin alpha, is used to treat anemia from HIV treatment, cancer chemotherapy, and renal illness by stimulating the bone marrow to create more red blood cells.

Brand Name: Renocrit

Hemoglobin levels rise as a result, and symptoms associated with anemia improve.
