How It Works:
Cresp 40 Injection contains Darbepoetin Alfa, a biologic protein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. It acts as an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent by mimicking the function of erythropoietin, a natural hormone produced by the kidneys. This helps restore red blood cell levels in patients with kidney disease or undergoing chemotherapy.
