Eposis Injection contains Erythropoietin Alfa 5000 IU, a recombinant human erythropoietin used to treat anemia associated with chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, and other chronic conditions. It works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, thereby increasing hemoglobin levels and improving oxygen delivery throughout the body.

This injection is administered under medical supervision and is commonly used in hospital or clinical settings for patients with clinically significant anemia.
