What is Procrit?

Procrit is a medication prescribed to treat anemia caused by:

• Chronic kidney disease
• Chemotherapy to treat cancer
• A medicine called zidovudine (also called azidothymidine), taken to prevent or treat HIV/AIDS

Procrit can also be used to reduce the likelihood of needing an RBC transfusion if you’re going to have a surgery where a lot of blood loss can occur. 

Anemia is a blood disorder that can be caused by not having enough red blood cells (RBCs). If anemia develops slowly, it can make you gradually feel more tired, weak, and short of breath. If anemia happens quickly, it can cause confusion and fainting and loss of consciousness. Anemia can make daily activities feel more demanding and it can reduce your quality of life. 

A fall in red blood cells can be caused by a range of conditions. It can result from a fall in kidney function, chemotherapy that lowers your bone marrow activity, and medicines like zidovudine used to treat HIV/AIDS.

Procrit helps with anemia by stimulating your body to produce more RBCs. It can decrease the symptoms of anemia and reduce the need for an RBC transfusion. Procrit is taken by injecting it under your skin. This may be done by a doctor or a nurse, or they may train you to do it for yourself.

Procrit active ingredients

The active ingredient in Procrit is called epoetin alfa. It’s a type of human protein (called an erythropoietin), produced by DNA technology.

Epoetin alfa stimulates the process in your body that creates red blood cells. It does this by attaching itself to areas on the outside of the cells in your bone marrow called erythropoietin receptors. This activates the receptors and begins the process that creates red blood cells. This helps to reduce and alleviate the symptoms of anemia.

• Headaches

• Are pregnant or are planning to get pregnant
• Are breastfeeding or are planning to breastfeed

You should seek medical attention after taking Procrit if you:

Don’t use Procrit from multiple-dose vials for newborns, infants, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Procrit multiple-dose vials contain benzyl alcohol, which can cause brain damage, death, and other serious side effects in newborn and premature babies. 

If you use multiple-dose vials you should not breastfeed for at least two weeks after the last dose. Procrit in single-dose vials does not contain benzyl alcohol.
