Daprodustat is primarily used in the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by stimulating the body's natural response to low oxygen levels, promoting the production of red blood cells. This oral medication is particularly beneficial for patients who are not on dialysis, offering a convenient alternative to injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. By managing anemia effectively, it helps improve quality of life and reduces the need for blood transfusions in CKD patients.
