Darbepoetin alfa is the generic name for the brand-name medication, Aranesp, which is an injectable version of a biological medication based on erythropoietin (abbreviated EPO), a molecule that encourages the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.
Some patients with anemia (a low level of red blood cells) due to a side effect of chemotherapy are treated with darbepoetin alfa.
