Hello @justmeb5 Did you mean Vidaza and not Livaza?
From my understanding, epoetin and Vidaza aren’t really drugs that you can compare. They each have a seperate function.
Vidaza is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. It’s used to treat certain types of bone marrow cancers and blood cell disorders.

Epoetin alfa is a man-made protein that helps your body produce red blood cells. It is used to treat anemia.

Have you been diagnosed with a blood cancer where these drugs are being offered for treatment?
