Thanks Jan42006 Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT I've been getting it every other week for about 2 months now. My counts have gotten better and I have a little more energy. Brainy_chick Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT Aranesp is a long acting Epogen or Procrit. Instead of taking it 3 times a week it can be taken every 2-3 weeks. It increases the production of RBC's.
