Medical Use

Jesduvroq (daprodustat) is a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF PH) inhibitor used to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults who have been on dialysis for at least 4 months.

Limitations of Use: Jesduvroq has not been proven to improve quality of life, reduce fatigue, or enhance patient well-being. It is not intended as a substitute for transfusions in emergency anemia correction or for patients not on dialysis.

Recommended Dosage: Jesduvroq tablets can be taken with or without food and regardless of the use of iron or phosphate binders. Swallow the tablets whole without chewing, cutting, or crushing them. The timing of dialysis does not affect the administration of Jesduvroq. Dosage should be individualized to use the lowest effective dose to minimize the need for red blood cell transfusions, and hemoglobin levels should not exceed 11 g/dL.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible unless it is close to the time of the next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed one.
