Abstract
There is disclosed an enhancer for the antianemia effect of erythropoietin using a spherical carbon as an active ingredient in an amount effective for treating anemia in combination with erythropoietin. The enhancer is orally administered. The antianemia effect of erythropoietin can be remarkably enhanced, the dosage of erythropoietin can be remarkably decreased, and side effects from erythropoietin can be remarkably reduced. There is further disclosed a method of augmenting the antianemia effect of erythropoietin by administering to a patient an effective amount of a spherical carbon in combination with a portion of an effective amount of erythropoietin for treating anemia.
