aranesp for mds

My husband was started on Aranesp 300mcg injections once a week for 6 weeks, with not response. He had to get 4 units of blood to bring his hgb up from 7.2 to 8.1. His hem MD is going to ^ dose to 400mcg for this next round of injections. If this doesn't help he will ^ it to 500mcg injections. Is anyone else out there getting this tx and is it helping? What are your side effects? Constipation seems to be his. Thanks.
