I'm 20 years old. I'm a long distance athlete. My life competition is with in a month. So I'm taking erythropoietin eprex 2000 iu each per week. Now I'm afraid on my dosage. And my friend ask me to continue another 3 more 2000 iu. And one 4000 iu before competition. Is that all right. Or what should I do now.
