Benefits of Neo Recormon Injection
In Treatment of Anemia due to chronic kidney disease
Anemia is a condition where your body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen around your body. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to the loss of normal kidney function over a long span of time. CKD progresses gradually over a few years but may become permanent if left untreated. CKD can lead to anemia. NEO RECORMON 5000 IU INJECTION can boost your levels of red blood cells and reduce the symptoms of anemia such as tiredness and weakness. Taking this injection improves the quality of life.
In Anemia due to cancer chemotherapy

How Neo Recormon Injection works
NEO RECORMON 5000 IU 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.
