The product contains the identical amino acid sequence of isolated natural erythropoietin.
  • RETACRIT (epoetin alfa-epbx) injection for intravenous or subcutaneous administration is a sterile, clear, colorless solution in single-dose vials, formulated with an isotonic sodium chloride/sodium phosphate-buffered solution.
  • Each 1 mL single-dose vial of 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, and 10,000 Units of epoetin alfa-epbx contains calcium chloride dihydrate (0.01 mg), glycine (7.5 mg), isoleucine (1 mg), leucine (1 mg), L-glutamic acid (0.25 mg), phenylalanine (0.5 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.1 mg), sodium chloride (2.4 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous (4.9 mg), sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate (1.3 mg), and threonine (0.25 mg), in Water for Injection, USP.
  • Each 1 mL vial of 40,000 Units of epoetin alfa-epbx contains calcium chloride dihydrate (0.01 mg), glycine (7.5 mg), isoleucine (1 mg), leucine (1 mg), L-glutamic acid (0.25 mg), phenylalanine (0.5 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.1 mg), sodium chloride (2.2 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous (5.7 mg), sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate (1.5 mg), and threonine (0.25 mg), in Water for Injection, USP.
  • No data
  • The carcinogenic potential of epoetin alfa products has not been evaluated.
  • Epoetin alfa was not mutagenic or clastogenic under the conditions tested: epoetin alfa was negative in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), in the mammalian cell gene mutation assay (the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase [HGPRT] locus), in an chromosomal aberration assay in mammalian cells, and in the mouse micronucleus assay.
  • When administered intravenously to male and female rats prior to and during mating, and to females through the beginning of implantation (up to gestational day 7; dosing stopped prior to the beginning of organogenesis), doses of 100 and 500 Units/kg/day of epoetin alfa caused slight increases in pre-implantation loss, post-implantation loss and decreases in the incidence of live fetuses. It is not clear whether these effects reflect a drug effect on the uterine environment or on the conceptus. This animal dose level of 100 Units/kg/day approximates the clinical recommended starting dose, depending on the patient's treatment indication, but may be lower than the clinical dose in patients whose doses have been adjusted.
