Daprodustat (JESDUVROQ): the First Oral Drug for Anemia Due to Chronic Kidney Disease
October 2024
In 2023 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved daprodustat (JESDUVROQ), an oral drug for anemia due to chronic kidney disease. Daprodustat is only approved for chronic kidney disease patients who have been receiving dialysis for at least four months. Public Citizen’s Health Research Group has designated daprodustat as Do Not Use for seven years because the drug has no truly unique benefits over erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and not enough is known about its potential long-term risks.
