Renesis Tablet 20 mg contains Roxadustat, an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor used in the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by stimulating the body’s natural production of erythropoietin, improving red blood cell formation and helping increase hemoglobin levels without the need for injectable therapies.
