Medical Use

Evrenzo is an anti-anemia medication used to treat adults with symptomatic anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Recommended Dosage:

  • -Three Times Weekly Schedule: Evrenzo tablets come in a blister pack containing a 4-week supply (12 tablets), divided into four rows. Each row represents one week of medication (three tablets). Take tablets from the same row each week. The dosage can range from 20 mg three times weekly up to a maximum of 400 mg three times weekly.
  • -Alternative Dosing Frequencies: Depending on hemoglobin levels, your doctor may adjust the dose to 20 mg two times or one time weekly. Your doctor will specify which days to take your dose.
  • -Multiple Tablets for a Dose: Typically, patients will have one blister pack per month. If your dose requires more than one blister pack, you will need to take tablets from each pack on dosing days. Your healthcare provider will guide you on the exact number of tablets and when to take them.

Monitoring and Adjustments:

  • -Hemoglobin Levels: Your hemoglobin levels will be regularly monitored. If they become too high, treatment with Evrenzo (20 mg/50 mg/70 mg/100 mg, or 150 mg) may be temporarily stopped. Do not restart treatment without your doctor’s approval.
