Blood pressure needs to be monitored regularly during medication, and antihypertensive drugs should be adjusted if necessary. This drug is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Drug Interactions

When daprostat is used in combination with CYP2C8 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel), drug exposure may be increased and the dose needs to be adjusted. Also, avoid coadministration with strong CYP2C8 inhibitors (such as gemfibrozil).

Usage in patients with hepatic impairment

Patients with moderate hepatic impairment need to reduce the starting dose, while patients with severe hepatic impairment are contraindicated. Liver function should be checked regularly during medication.

Efficacy of Daplostat

Daplostat has shown significant efficacy in the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease, providing patients with a new treatment option.

Improve anemia effect

Daprostat stimulates red blood cell production by simulating a hypoxic environment, effectively increasing hemoglobin levels and reducing the need for blood transfusions.

Individualized treatment plan

Adjusting the dosage according to the patient’s hemoglobin level and liver function status can achieve precise treatment and avoid over-medication.

Long-term treatment advantages

Compared with traditional erythropoietin (ESA), daplestat is convenient to take orally, suitable for long-term use, and has higher patient compliance.

Daprostat has brought significant clinical benefits to patients with anemia in chronic kidney disease, but its efficacy needs to be achieved through standardized medication under the guidance of a doctor.
