Prescription.  They are synthetic imitators of the hormone that the kidneys release to stimulate the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. So if the anemia stems in part or whole from a lack of that hormone, the epogen or procrit (same thing, different companies) can help.

Epogen/Procrit might help with the anemia, depending on its cause.
