Most patients taking PROCRIT do not experience any problems. In medical studies, a few patients experienced some type of thrombotic/vascular event (for example, blood clots) after surgery. These events occurred with similar frequency in patients on PROCRIT and in those receiving an injection not containing PROCRIT (placebo). Patients in these studies were also given medication to decrease the chance of developing blood clots. In addition, some patients on PROCRIT expereinced fever, nausea, and/or constipation. These are common side effects in patients who have had surgery or take iron supplements. Call your doctor immediately if you experience any problems while taking PROCRIT.
