Epoetin alfa, or just epoetin for short, is a drug that is basically a synthetic form of the naturally-occurring hormone, erythropoietin. Epoetin is given to patients with anemia to stimulate the production of red blood cells and to increase hemoglobin levels. By increasing the number of red blood cells, Epoetin increases the thickness or viscosity of blood, which explains it’s main side effect: an increased chance of developing blood clots. As such, the drug is contraindicated in patients with a high risk or history of blood clots. To prevent blood clots from occurring, the hemoglobin should be closely monitored and should not rise above 11 grams per deciliter.
