Reblozyl is a medicine used to help people with certain blood problems. These problems make them have too few red blood cells, which can cause tiredness and weakness.

One group of people who use Reblozyl has a rare blood condition called beta thalassemia. This condition makes it hard for their bodies to make enough healthy red blood cells. Reblozyl helps to make more of these healthy red blood cells.
