what is procrit for?
PROCRIT Â® is a man-made form of erythropoietin (EPO). PROCRIT Â® works like EPO â it causes your bone marrow to make more red blood cells. This, in turn, raises your level of hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen to all parts of the body. Increasing your hemoglobin level may lessen the need for a blood transfusion.
