Mircera injection contains epoetin beta and methoxy polyethylene glycol. Epoetin beta and methoxy polyethylene glycol is a man-made form of a protein normally produced by the kidneys that helps your body produce red blood cells. When your body does not make enough of this protein because of kidney failure, you can develop a condition called anemia (lack of red blood cells).

Mircera is used to treat anemia (lack of red blood cells) and to reduce the need for blood cell transfusions.

Mircera is used to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney disease in adults, or in children at least 5 years old who are on hemodialysis.

This medicine is not for treating anemia caused by cancer chemotherapy. Epoetin beta and methoxy polyethylene glycol may increase tumor growth or decrease survival time in people with certain types of cancer.

Mircera should not be used to take the place of an emergency blood cell transfusion.
