Epoetin Alfa is a synthetic hormone used to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, or HIV treatment. There are several synonyms for Epoetin Alfa, including Erythropoietin, EPO, Hematopoietin, Epogen, and Procrit. These medications work by stimulating the production of red blood cells in the body, which helps to increase oxygenation and improve symptoms of anemia. While they are all similar medications, they may have different dosages and methods of administration. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment for an individual's specific needs.
