Indications
Mécanisme d'action
Epoetin theta is identical in amino acid sequence to endogenous erythropoietin, the primary regulator of erythropoiesis. It acts on the erythropoietin receptor on erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow as a mitosis-stimulating factor and differentiation hormone.
Posologie adulte habituelle (résumé de la notice)
Anaemia of chronic renal failure, correction phase, subcutaneous: 20 IU/kg 3 times per week; may increase after 4 weeks to 40 IU/kg 3 times per week if Hb rise is inadequate (< 1 g/dl within 4 weeks); further 25% increases monthly; maximum 700 IU/kg per week
Grossesse et allaitement
- Grossesse
- Unknown Limited data (under 300 pregnancies); animal studies with other epoetins showed no direct harm. EU label: as a precaution, preferable to avoid in pregnancy.
- Allaitement
- Safe Not known if it passes into milk; in newborns, erythropoietin given with milk is not absorbed. EU label: decide whether to stop breastfeeding or treatment. LactMed (epoetin alfa): no special precautions needed.

- Headache
- Skin reactions

- Shunt thrombosis
Contre-indications
- Hypersensitivity to the active substance, other epoetins and derivatives, or any excipient

Précautions particulières
- Pure red cell aplasia from neutralising anti-erythropoietin antibodies; these cross-react with all epoetins, so affected patients should not be switched to epoetin theta
- Hypertension and hypertensive crisis; control blood pressure before and during therapy
- Severe cutaneous reactions (SJS/TEN): withdraw immediately; never restart after such a reaction
Informez votre pharmacien ou votre médecin en cas de grossesse ou d'allaitement, de maladie rénale ou hépatique, d'allergies, ainsi que de tout autre médicament ou complément que vous prenez.
