M e d i c i n e A ve 2 When chemo made me tired Ifound the strength to get back to my corner. www.procrit.com If you're on chemotherapy and too tired to do the things you normally enjoy, you may be anemic and not even know it. It's important to talk to your doctor. The fact is anemia affects 7 out of 10 chemo patients, often causing extreme tiredness, dizziness and shortness of breath. It can even affect your ability to think clearly and may cause you to interrupt your treatment. Fortunately though, there’s PROCRIT. It treats chemo-related anemia by helping you regain red blood cells lost during chemotherapy. And more red blood cells can mean more strength. Tell your doctor about your symptoms and ask how PROCRIT can help you get back to doing the things you love. PROCRIT is for chemotherapy-related anemia in patients with most types of cancer. PROCRIT is proven and safe. PROCRIT is available by prescription only and is injected by your doctor or nurse. In studies, diarrhea, edema, fever, vomiting, shortness of breath, tingling, and upper respiratory infection occurred more often with PROCRIT than placebo. Although high blood pressure has been noted rarely in cancer patients treated with PROCRIT, blood pressure should be monitored carefully, particularly in patients with a history of high blood pressure or heart disease.
