Mode of Action
Darbepoetin alfa is a biosynthetic form of erythropoietin. Recombinant human erythropoietin with sialic acid additions to enhance stability; stimulates erythropoiesis via division & differentation of progenitor cells in bone marrow to induce the release of reticulocytes from the bone marrow into the bloodstream to become erythrocytes.
Precaution
Hypertension; history of seizures; hepatic impairment; sickle cell anaemia; sudden stabing migraine-like pain (warning sign of hypotensive crisis); exclude other causes of anaemia; ischaemic vascular disease; thrombocytosis; epilepsy; malignant disease; increase in heparin dose may be needed; increased risk of thrombosis when used for anaemia before orthopedic surgery; CV disease including recent MI/cerebrovascular accident. Monitor haemoglobin, BP and electrolytes; platelet count for 1st 8 wk.
