Vafseo (vadadustat) is a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF PH) inhibitor used for the treatment of anemia because of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adult individuals who have been receiving dialysis for at least 3 months. 

Limitations of Use: This therapeutic drug has not been shown to improve quality of life (QoL), fatigue, or patient well-being.

Vafseo is not Indicated for Use: As a substitute for transfusion in those requiring immediate correction of anemia, and in those with anemia due to CKD not on dialysis.

Recommended Dosage: Vafseo is supplied as a convenient, once-daily oral tablet. Before initiating treatment with Vafseo, correct and rule out other causes of anemia, check iron levels, measure Hb levels, and conduct liver testing.

The recommended starting dose is 300 mg orally once daily taken with or without food. Tablets should be swallowed whole without cutting, crushing, or chewing. The medicine can be administered without regard to the timing or type of dialysis.

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as quickly as possible, unless it is the same day as the next dose. In this case, skip the missed dose, and take the next scheduled dose at the usual time. Do not take double doses to make up for a missed dose.
