• ZYNESP 100 INJECTION is a medication that contains an erythropoiesis-stimulating protein. This protein is created using recombinant DNA technology and is very similar to erythropoietin, a natural hormone in your body. Both ZYNESP 100 INJECTION and erythropoietin work in the same way: they stimulate erythropoiesis, the process of producing red blood cells. These agents attach themselves to progenitor stem cells in the bone marrow, which prompts these cells to develop and differentiate into red blood cells. Essentially, ZYNESP 100 INJECTION signals your bone marrow to ramp up the production of red blood cells.
• This increased red blood cell production is crucial for treating anemia, a condition characterized by a shortage of red blood cells. By stimulating the bone marrow, ZYNESP 100 INJECTION helps to increase the red blood cell count, improving oxygen delivery throughout the body. This can alleviate symptoms of anemia such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
• ZYNESP 100 INJECTION is often prescribed for individuals with anemia caused by chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, or other medical conditions that affect red blood cell production. It is important to use ZYNESP 100 INJECTION under the guidance of a healthcare professional who can monitor your red blood cell levels and adjust the dosage as needed to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects.

• ZYNESP 100 INJECTION is administered as a subcutaneous injection, meaning it's injected under the skin. Your doctor, nurse, or another qualified healthcare provider will provide comprehensive training on how to properly administer this injection using the pre-filled pen. It is crucial to receive adequate training before attempting to self-inject.
• Prior to each injection, carefully inspect the ZYNESP 100 INJECTION pre-filled pen. Ensure that the solution is clear, colorless to slightly yellowish, and free from any particles. Do not use the pen if the solution is discolored, cloudy, or contains visible particles. Also, check the expiration date on the pen to ensure that it has not expired. Using an expired pen may result in reduced effectiveness or potential harm.
• It is imperative that you never inject ZYNESP 100 INJECTION directly into a vein. Subcutaneous injection is the only approved method of administration for this medication. If you are unsure about the injection procedure or are experiencing difficulty, seek assistance from a healthcare professional at a nearby hospital or clinic. They can provide guidance and ensure the injection is administered correctly and safely.
