• ​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 anaemia. Darbecure 40 mcg PFS can boost your levels of red blood cells and reduce the symptoms of anaemia such as tiredness and weakness. Taking this injection improves the quality of life.
  
  ​Treatment of Anemia due to cancer chemotherapy: Anemia caused by cancer chemotherapy is a common side effect of cancer treatment that occurs when the chemotherapy drugs damage or destroy the bone marrow cells responsible for producing red blood cells. This can lead to a decrease in the number of red blood cells, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Darbecure 40 mcg PFS may help the body produce more red blood cells. Iron supplements may also be recommended to support the production of healthy red blood cells. In addition, maintaining lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking may also be recommended to manage anaemia caused by chemotherapy.
