Procrit Drug Interactions

Procrit® (epoetin alfa) is a medication approved to treat anemia caused by a variety of conditions. At this time, there are no known Procrit drug interactions. However, it is important to understand that specific studies to check for drug interactions have not been performed, and it is possible that there are interactions that are not currently known.
 
Procrit should not be combined with darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®). Procrit and Aranesp are almost identical (with a few important differences), and using them together could increase the risk of side effects.
 
Since not all Procrit drug interactions may be known at this time, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider on a regular basis about any specific drug interactions that may apply to you.
