About MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION

MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION belongs to the class of medication called 'blood-forming agent' primarily used to treat anaemia (low red blood cell count) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), anaemia in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer, and preventing anaemia in premature infants. Anaemia occurs when the body has fewer red blood cells or haemoglobin. Chronic kidney disease damages the kidney and doesn't filter the blood, leading to anaemia.

MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION contains a human-made protein known as 'Epoetin beta', which works by providing signals to the bone marrow to make more red blood cells (RBCs). MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION helps to reverse anaemia and reduce the need for blood transfusion. MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION is a biologic response modifier and erythropoiesis-stimulating protein. In chronic kidney disease, when the kidney fails to produce sufficient 'erythropoietin protein', which aids in forming red blood cells, MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION stimulates the production of this protein in the bone marrow.

MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Kindly do not self-administer. The most common side effects of MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION are lower iron levels in the blood, allergic reaction, injection site pain, increased blood pressure and headaches. Most of these side effects of MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

If you have uncontrolled/untreated high blood pressure, new or increasing chest pain, or if you are at risk of blood clots in the veins (deep venous thrombosis), please inform your doctor before taking MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION to avoid any complications. It is not known whether the MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting treatment with this medicine. MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION is a cold chain medicine, so it must be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius, or its efficiency might be lost. Do not store in the freezer.

Uses of MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION

Anaemia in cancer, Anemia in chronic kidney disease, and anaemia in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer.

Directions for Use

MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Kindly do not self-administer.

Medicinal Benefits

MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION is a human-made form of naturally occurring erythropoiesis-stimulating protein or erythropoietin (a hormone produced by the kidney's specialized cells and is responsible for protecting red blood cells against destruction and stimulates the cells of bone marrow to produce more amount of red blood cells). A deficiency of erythropoietin happens when a person suffers from chronic kidney disease, which causes a low red blood cell count, causing anaemia. This medicine is primarily used for treating anaemia (low red blood cell count) in persons with long-term serious (chronic) kidney disease and those receiving chemotherapy for some types of cancer except bone marrow or blood cell cancer. MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION is also used to reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions in adults having certain types of surgery. MIRCERA 75MG INJECTION contains a protein, 'Epoetin beta', which signals the bone marrow to make more red blood cells.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Anaemia: Anaemia occurs when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin than normal haemoglobin (the iron-rich protein responsible for allowing red blood cells to carry more oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body).  Chronic kidney disease damages the kidney and doesn't filter the blood, leading to anaemia. Symptoms of anaemia in chronic kidney disease include fatigue or tiredness, shortness of breath, ashen skin, weakness, body aches, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, fast or irregular heartbeat, headache, sleep problems, and trouble concentrating.
