Epoetin Beta - 30000 IUEpoetin BetaDosage at Initiation: Subcutaneous injection of 30000 IU epoetin beta administered once a week. Dosage could be increased to 30000 IU twice a week or 60000 IU once a week after 4 weeks if a blood transfusion was required or hemoglobin level did not increase by at least 0.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) versus baseline.
