Eposis Injection contains Erythropoietin Alfa 10000 IU, a recombinant human erythropoietin used for the management of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cancer chemotherapy, and other chronic conditions. It stimulates the bone marrow to increase red blood cell production, thereby improving hemoglobin levels and enhancing oxygen delivery throughout the body.

This higher-strength formulation is administered under strict medical supervision in hospital or clinical settings as part of an individualized anemia treatment plan.
