Actorise 200mcg is indicated for the treatment in patients with Symptomatic Anemia associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
Mechanism of action
Darbepoetin alfa provoke erythropoiesis by the same mechanism as endogenous erythropoietin. Erythropoietin combines with progenitor stem cells to raise red cell production.
Binding of erythropoietin to the erythropoietin receptor causes to receptor dimerization, that facilitates activation of JAK-STAT indicating pathways within the cytosol.
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (Activated STAT) proteins are then translocated to the nucleus where they supply as transcription factors which controls the activation of genes contains in cell division or differentiation.

- Actorise 200mcg injection will causes high mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, and thromboembolism: Using ESAs to target a haemoglobin level of greater than 11 g/dL raises the risk of severe adverse cardiovascular reactions
- Actorise 200mcg injection will leads to known porphyria, sickle cell Anemia, thalassemia in patients
- Reduction of dose if Hgb increase exceeds 1 g/dL in any 2-week period
- Higher the mortality and/or increased risk of tumor progression or relapsed in patients with cancer
- The drug has high risk for seizures in patients with CKD; increase monitoring of these patients for changes in seizure frequency or premonitory symptoms
- If serious Anemia and low reticulocyte count occurs during treatment, withhold treatment and check out for pure red cell aplasia.
