According to CMS Drug Use Information: This medication is used to treat "iron-poor" blood (anemia) in people with long-term kidney disease and using a certain class of drug (man-made form of erythropoietin). You may need extra iron because of blood loss during kidney dialysis. Your body may also need more iron to help erythropoietin make new red blood cells. Iron is an important part of your red blood cells and is needed to transport oxygen in the body. Many people with kidney disease cannot get enough iron from food and require injections.
