Procrit - Reasons For Taking It

[goldicedance]

I was surprised when Dr. Grubb told me the reason for taking PROCRIT is for its powers to increase vasoconstriction. I had thought it was to increase blood volume.

Does anyone have more information?

Hello,

I take procrit to help increase my blood volume, and to keep my hematocrit up. I have been on it for about six months now.

Not sure if this helps!

Have a great day!

Hello! I take it for its vasoconstructive effect- to raise my bp. It made me go from this

to this

in a matter of weeks

thanks for the information. Persephone, it looks like you are taking it for the reason Dr. Grubb explained to me.

Before seeing Dr. Grubb, I thought the reason was to increase blood volume--that does not seem to be the case.

Persephone, wow, what a difference Procrit made for you!!!!! You are the poster girl for procrit for POTS!
