Retacrit is a man-made form of a protein that helps your body produce red blood cells. This protein may be reduced when you have kidney failure or use certain medications. When fewer red blood cells are produced, you can develop a condition called anemia.

Retacrit is used to treat anemia caused by chemotherapy or chronic kidney disease, or anemia caused by taking zidovudine to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).

Retacrit is also used to reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions in people having certain types of surgery.

Retacrit may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
