I had taken this medicine for about 5 years. So far I haen't had any problems with it. There'll be a few times that I did not need the shot, because the numbers were too close to 12

This Medication works okay. The guidelines for this has been changing like crazy this last year for a max hemoglobin of 14 down to 12. I would rather use EPO.
