Eprex

Dear Sirs,

can plz anybody tell me why does Eprex injection stop giving good reaction on my father RBC, although since 3 month his hemoglobin increased from 10.5 to 14.2 BUT now and gradually his hemoglobin was down so fast from 14.2 to 8.6 and that was frightening me and i went like crazy to visit our hematologist who ask me to give my father urgently 2 units of blood!!!

so does eprex stop working by itself?? or because the level of blast is increasing which cause eprex useless !!! doctor had no idea and he did not answer my question

PS: i decided not to give my father the Exjade although he have 1100 ferritin level now, but i was afraid to give an elderly this kind of havy drug and afraid to affect his creatini level or kidney work....what is your opinion ???
