goldicedance Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 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?Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJVDK Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radha Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 would procrit help even if your hematocrit was normal but total volume was low? thanksradha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldicedance Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 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!Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
