Erythropoietin Drugs Help In the Development of New Red Blood Cells While Boosting Up Energy and Controlling Cholesterol Levels

Erythropoietin drugs are used abundantly in healthcare sectors in regions such as the U.S., Singapore, and Italy, among others. Erythropoietin drug is an anti-inflammatory and also an insulin-like growth factor (IGF) inhibitor, which prevents the growth of cells affected by diabetes and has been approved for clinical trials. The drug stimulates the immune system and reduces the amount of insulin in the body. This reduced level allows the body to absorb more glucose from food and therefore reduces thirst. Also, Erythropoietin drug controls high cholesterol and has recently been shown to reduce blood pressure, which may help prevent a heart attack or stroke.

In regions such as the U.S., owing to lifestyle choices, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is very extensive. For instance, according to Healthline Media, in 2018 approximately 30.3 million U.S. residents were diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention around 655,000 U.S. residents die due to poor health annually. Hence advanced treatments such as Erythropoietin drugs are necessary. According to Cleveland Clinic, two main types of Erythropoietin drugs are used in the U.S. darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®) and epoetin alfa (Procrit,® Epogen®).

Studies show that Erythropoietin drugs may also reduce cholesterol and plaque build-up in the arteries. This in turn may help lower the risk of developing cardiovascular disease or stroke. It does this by reducing the cholesterol in the blood and increasing the good cholesterol in the body called HDL. There are many benefits of taking Erythropoietin drugs such as improving insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. The drug has also been shown to enhance brain function and memory and has an anti-cancer effect.

Erythromycin is taken in pill form. There are several different routes of administration and they include oral intake, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, or vaginal use. Users can also take it as a syrup. Erythromycin is usually taken as a single oral dose once or twice a day. However, the drug should be taken according to the doctor's orders. Failure to do so can lead to undesirable side effects including nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and diarrhea.
