Eposis Injection contains Erythropoietin Alfa 2000 IU, a recombinant human erythropoietin used for the management of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), chemotherapy, and other chronic medical conditions. It works by stimulating the bone marrow to increase red blood cell production, thereby improving hemoglobin levels and reducing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.

This medicine is administered under medical supervision in clinical or hospital settings as part of a structured anemia treatment plan.
