A patient has been receiving epoetin alfa (Epogen) for severe iron-deficiency anemia. Today, the provider changed the order to darbepoetin (Aranesp). The patient questions the nurse, “What is the difference in these drugs?” Which response by the nurse is correct?


▸ “There is no difference in these two drugs.”

▸ “Aranesp works faster than Epogen to raise your red blood cell count.”

▸ “Aranesp is given by mouth, so you will not need to have injections.”

▸ “Aranesp is a longer-acting form, so you will receive fewer injections.”
