Factors affecting the use of Omontys
Omontys is only cheaper than Epogen at higher doses
Omontys's once-monthly dosing is a double-edged sword
Many centers will be reluctant to stock two different ESAs for in-center use
Home dialysis patients should see the quickest uptake of Omontys
Lack of Omontys-associated PRCA expected to have minimal impact on adoption
Pricing negotiations with group purchasing organizations and small dialysis centers will be key to Omontys uptake
Mircera is another once-monthly ESA on the horizon
