Daprodustat is an inhibitor of HIF-PH, and it’s used to treat anemia in people with chronic kidney disease. It actually helps boost the production of red blood cells. The medicine comes in film-coated tablets that go from 1 mg up to 8 mg.
The usual start is 4 mg a day, but you might need to change it up a bit. Every size of the med is in a film-coated tablet shape. These tablets come in bottles with 30 in each.
It’s made to help deal with anemia for those with chronic kidney disease, by blocking something called HIF-Prolyl Hydroxylase (PH). This how it works is by the growth of red blood cells, which in turn raises the hemoglobin levels. The dose is based on how you’re doing with it, and you can take it with or without eating.
There might be some side effects, so you’ll need to keep an eye out for them.
