Anemia Drugs

Anemia, a condition characterized by a lack of enough red blood cells or hemoglobin, causes an individual to feel fatigued or weak, among other symptoms. However, because these symptoms can be linked to so many other diseases or conditions, anemia may go undiagnosed for a period of time.

Once anemia has been diagnosed, there are many anemia drugs that physicians prescribe to treat the condition. Each is touted to increase the ability of the anemic's blood to carry oxygen throughout the body; therefore increasing energy and allowing the anemic to once again feel like him- or herself.

Anemia drugs are critically important to people who suffer disorders that affect the blood. Chemotherapy patients often have great difficulty producing red blood cells due to the drugs they must take to fight their cancer, and patients with chronic renal failure rely on anemia drugs to help regulate the amount of blood cells their kidneys can no longer process.

Unfortunately, these benefits do not come without a dark side. The true danger of anemia drugs is due to the propensity of these drugs to affect the bone marrow of the people who take them. Two common side effects are red blood cell aplasia and aplastic anemia. Red blood cell aplasia prevents the "building block" blood cells to mature into red blood cells, and aplastic anemia destroys the bone marrow's ability to create any blood cells at all, including disease-fighting white blood cells and platelets.

Victims of these potentially life-threatening conditions sometimes require massive blood transfusions in order to keep their tissues supplied with life-giving oxygen. It is ironic that the anemia drugs designed to help restore a proper balance of blood cells actually prevented the body from healing and thriving.

For the families of the victims who had lost their lives due to their ingestion of anemia drugs, the blow was severe and difficult to handle. Though many wanted to move on, they found they could not; they wanted restitution for their suffering.
