http://www.smartgroups.com/message/readmessage.cfm? gid=1423922&messageid=14329&startid=14340 Yes, Epogen and Procrit are the same drug. They are made by the same company then marketed by 2 other companies. Yes, Epogen or Procrit are used to stimulate the bone marrow to make red blood cells. If the anemia is from estrogen toxicity to the bone marrow then you have to lower the estrogen level by using Lupron and/or Arimidex also. Likewise melatonin should be used to help lower the estrogen level and to stimulate the bone marrow. Hill's a/d or baby food can be used to increase the appetite, and pet tinic can be used to raise the iron and B vitamin levels. Hope that helps, Jerry Murray, DVM [Posted in FML issue 4907]
