Title: Epoetin alfa Dosage
Post by: WJ2013 on May 14, 2013, 07:11:08 PM

Since i was hospitalized a month ago, i was getting Epoetin alfa 10000 and being continued as part of dialysis. When dialysis started in the hospital my Hemoglobin was 6.x and now it is 12.x. Shouldn't i request to stop it?. Prior to dialysis I was feeling ok when i had 8-9. I am worried reading about the side effects.
TIA.
