BINOCRIT 30000 I.U/0.75 ml Solution For Injection 30000 IU Solution for injection in pre-filled syringe 0.75ml Pre-filled syringe

Product Overview

Binocrit 30000 I.U/0.75 ml Solution For Injection is a highly specialized medication containing Epoetin alfa, an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA).

This sterile solution is presented in a convenient pre-filled syringe, designed for precise and controlled administration.

It is primarily used to manage anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in certain cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Epoetin alfa works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, thereby increasing hemoglobin levels and reducing the need for blood transfusions.

Benefits of Use

• Effectively treats anemia associated with chronic kidney disease and certain cancer chemotherapies.
• Stimulates the body's natural production of red blood cells.
• Helps to increase hemoglobin levels, improving oxygen transport in the body.
• May reduce or eliminate the need for red blood cell transfusions.
• Pre-filled syringe format ensures accurate dosing and ease of administration.

How to Use

Binocrit is typically administered by a healthcare professional. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or nurse carefully.

1. Ensure the solution is clear and colorless. Do not use if it is cloudy, discolored, or contains particles.
2. Allow the syringe to reach room temperature before injection, if stored in the refrigerator.
3. Administer the injection subcutaneously (under the skin) or intravenously (into a vein) as directed by your physician.
4. The injection site should be rotated to prevent skin irritation.
5. Do not shake the syringe vigorously as this may damage the protein.
6. Dispose of the syringe safely after use, according to medical waste guidelines.

Caution & Warnings

• Binocrit is a prescription-only medicine and must be used under medical supervision.
• There is an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack, stroke, blood clots) with ESAs, particularly when hemoglobin levels are targeted above 10-12 g/dL.
• Increased risk of tumor progression or recurrence in some cancer patients.
• Monitor blood pressure regularly, as hypertension can worsen or develop during treatment.
• Do not use if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• Risk of Pure Red Cell Aplasia (PRCA), a rare but serious condition.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
