Product Information
How It Works
Cresp 40 Injection restores haemoglobin levels when your body cannot generate adequate amounts of natural erythropoietin. It comes as a ready-to-use solution in a pre-filled syringe administered either subcutaneously or intravenously. A prescription is mandatory. Cold chain handling applies from pharmacy to fridge. Routine laboratory testing of serum ferritin confirms adequate body iron stores prior to starting treatment.
Dosage & How to Use
- ✦ Cresp 40 is injected into the upper arm, thigh or abdomen by healthcare professionals.
- ✦ Shaken syringes are not used. Foam inside the barrel suggests the disturbance of medicine.
- ✦ Weekly or biweekly doses are adjusted on the basis of patient's reaction and laboratory findings.
- ✦ Monthly haemoglobin tests decide exact dosages.
- ✦ Do not take the missed dose if the upcoming appointment is close.
Side Effects
- ✦ Blood pressure rising is the reaction reported most often in kidney patients.
- ✦ Soreness at the injection site is common. Rash turns up in a smaller number.
- ✦ Breathlessness and ankle puffiness feature as well, with cough in some patients.
- ✦ During chemotherapy, abdominal pain and swelling come up more than they do in kidney treatment.
- ✦ Seizures, clots and severe skin reactions are rare, though each needs medical attention.
Storage
- ✦ Refrigerate between 2°C and 8°C, and discard frozen syringes.
- ✦ The carton stays on until injection time, since light degrades the protein.
- ✦ Dispose any unused drug into a sharps container.
