Epoetin is the recombinant form of human erythropoietin. It is a 165-amino acid glycoprotein manufactured using recombinant DNA technology. The presence of the impurities, host cell DNA, and host cell protein in Epoetin is process-specific and controlled through purification. The impurity levels are determined by validated methods and limits approved by the competent regulatory authority.
