Neo Recormon 2000IU Injection belongs to a class of medicines called erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs). These medicines work by stimulating the production of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bone marrow. From the bone marrow, these RBCs are released into the bloodstream. This helps in treating anemia in patients who have chronic kidney disease or who are undergoing chemotherapy.

It is given as a single injection under your skin but if you are on hemodialysis, it will be given into your vein. Monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking this medication. Inform your doctor if you notice symptoms of very high blood pressure such as severe headache, problems with your eyesight, nausea, vomiting, or fits (seizures). Your doctor may get your blood tests done regularly to monitor the levels of hemoglobin, blood cells, and electrolytes such as potassium in your blood. Inform your doctor if you had a heart attack or stroke in the month before your treatment, if you have new or increasing chest pain, or if you are at risk of blood clots in the veins. Seek medical help immediately if you develop a rash, ulcers of mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes (red and swollen eyes) preceded by fever and/or flu-like symptoms.
