Roxastat Tablet 20mg contains Roxadustat, an oral medication used to treat anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients on dialysis and those not yet on dialysis. It works by stimulating the body’s natural production of erythropoietin (EPO), which helps increase red blood cell production and improve hemoglobin levels.

Unlike traditional injectable treatments, Roxastat offers a convenient oral alternative for managing anemia in kidney disease patients, under medical supervision.
