Daprogen Tablet 6 mg contains Daprodustat, a modern oral therapy for managing anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). As a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), Daprodustat promotes the body’s natural erythropoietin production, stimulating red blood cell formation and improving hemoglobin levels. Daprogen 6 mg is suitable for adults with CKD, whether they are receiving dialysis or not, and helps alleviate anemia-related symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.

Indications

Daprogen Tablet 6 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of anemia in adult CKD patients
• Management of anemia in non-dialysis CKD patients
• Support for dialysis-dependent CKD patients, under medical supervision
• Improvement of hemoglobin levels and reduction of anemia-related symptoms

Mechanism of Action

• Daprodustat inhibits prolyl hydroxylase enzymes, stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs).
• Stabilized HIFs stimulate the production of endogenous erythropoietin, which enhances red blood cell synthesis.
• Increases oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing fatigue and improving quality of life.
• Oral administration provides a convenient alternative to injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs).

Dosage and Administration

• Adults: One 6 mg tablet orally once daily, or as prescribed by a physician
• Can be taken with or without food
• Dose adjustments may be necessary depending on hemoglobin levels, iron stores, and kidney function
• Regular monitoring of hemoglobin, iron levels, and blood pressure is recommended
• Complete adherence to prescribed therapy is important to maintain efficacy

Benefits

• Oral therapy for effective management of CKD-related anemia
• Stimulates natural erythropoietin production and red blood cell formation
• Reduces symptoms of anemia such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath
• Convenient daily dosing improves adherence compared to injectable alternatives
• Suitable for both dialysis and non-dialysis CKD patients
