Brief Answer:
Erythropoetin
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Epox is nothing but Erythopoetin which is given to increase the Hemoglobin levels in the body.
Now to answer your questions
1. Epox will not cause increase in Creat
2. There is no restriction on any vegetarian diet. However I suggest him to avoid animal meat, fruit juices and tender coconut avoid. Fruits that can be eaten are papaya, apple, pineapple and guava in moderation.
3. Salt and fluid restriction is the most important. I usually tell my patients to avoid salt and fluid restriction to less than a litre per day
I hope I was of help, if you have any other questions I will be happy to get back to you
Regards
Erythropoetin
