What is Epogen? Epogen (epoetin alfa) 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. Epogen is used to treat anemia caused by chemotherapy or chronic kidney disease. Epoetin alfa is also used to reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions in people having certain types of surgery.
