Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Epoetin Beta and Terminalia. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Terminalia Overview
Terminalia is a genus of trees that are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. There are around 100 species of Terminalia, which are known for their hard, durable wood and their ability to grow in a variety of climates.
In traditional medicine, three species are of particular note, Terminalia arjuna, Terminalia bellirica, and Terminalia chebula. Various parts of these trees, including the bark, leaves, and fruit, are used as a natural remedy for digestive problems, such as constipation and diarrhea, and to boost the immune system. They are also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, and they may be helpful in reducing inflammation and swelling in the body.
Epoetin Beta Overview
-
Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta injection is used to treat anemia (a lower than normal number of red blood cells) in people with chronic kidney failure (condition in which the kidneys slowly and permanently stop working over a period of time) in adults on and not on dialysis and in children 5 years of age and older on dialysis who have already received another treatment for anemia. Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta injection should not be used to treat anemia caused by cancer chemotherapy and should not be used in place of a red blood cell transfusion to treat severe anemia. Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta injection is in a class of medications called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). It works by causing the bone marrow (soft tissue inside the bones where blood is made) to make more red blood cells.
