Common Questions and Answers about Filgrastim composition

neupogen

493068 tn?1224765315 my stats seem to go up and down so I only have to take it now every 2 wks. It is unknown whether filgrastim (Neupogen) increases or decreasses an individual's risk of developing cancer. Based on limited long-term data from healthy people ( if a person is healthy why would they need neupogen in the first place ) who have received filgrastim, no long-term risks have been found so far. good luck to you....hope this helped!
Avatar m tn Do you mean filgrastim? And are you saying Dengue fever? It would be a surprising though perhaps not impossible use of filgrastim. Dengue is usually treated by pain managers and sometimes hospitalization and a blood transfusion. Anyway, if you have a legitimate prescription from a doctor, you should be able to fill it in the United States.
Avatar f tn For this reason, patients are prescribed antibiotics and even receive injections to increase white blood counts (such as filgrastim or lenograstim). If this 0.4 value really pertains to your white counts, then I believe this is really low and what you are experiencing is a condition called 'febrile neutropenia'. I would suggest you ask your doctor about filgrastim or lenograstim injections aside from the Levaquin. Regards.
Avatar n tn Filgrastim is also prescribed as pegfilgrastim (called Neulasta). My doctor used the 500 neutrophill count as a cut-off, so every time I got down around 500 I used Neulasta. The interferon drops neutrophils and platelets. Some people can do okay with low neutrophils but just as many end up with kidney and sinus infections, etc., that make you even more miserable.
Avatar m tn Doctors unable to give any explanation for such wide variations on a dose to dose basis. Till date, I have also taken 5 doses of Filgrastim - the WBC Stimulator. Can you pleae advice possible reasons for such wide fluctuations.

Please help !
Avatar n tn I need to compare the urine composition of a person with Diabetes with that of a healthy person. As of yet I have not found any exact information on the net. What I have found was that a person suffering from diabetes's urine will have ketones and glucose and possibly proteins (not sure) due to the membrane of the nephrons in the kidney which leaks these larger substances in the blood into the urinary tract.
Avatar m tn Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim) or NEUPOGEN® (Filgrastim) may reduce your chance of getting an infection, but it does not prevent all infections. An infection can happen anytime your neutrophil counts are low. Look for signs of infection, such as fever, chills, rash, sore throat, diarrhea, or redness, swelling, or pain around a cut or sore. If you have any of these signs, contact your health care professional immediately. http://www.neulasta.com/starting-chemo-with-neulasta/about-neulasta-neupogen.
1986676 tn?1329862471 Musculoskeletal symptoms have been the most frequently reported adverse effects of filgrastim therapy. Bone pain has been reported in approximately 22% of patients. Reactivation of pseudogout occurred in a patient receiving chemotherapy. Postmarketing reports have included decreased bone density and osteoporosis in pediatric severe chronic neutropenia (SCN) patients receiving chronic treatment with filgrastim.
Avatar m tn Hi, I understand your anxiety, but before you try any new medications, ensure to see the composition and also if any scientific studies have been done on the product. And while taking this, do not discontinue your prescribed medications. Regards.
Avatar n tn Could someone explains the composition of the developer solution used in Oraquick. Recently the fluid in the vial came in contact with my fingers. Is there any risk?
Avatar n tn Hi, With modern medical advances, especially effective anti-emetics, and growth factors (filgrastim), chemotherapy has become safer and more tolerable over the last decade or so. Hair loss will be your major side effect, and some intermittent illnesses may also be expected during the course of chemotherapy. But your overall long-term benefit will be much more than these temporary effects. All the Best!
476246 tn?1418870914 , the primary ‘rescue’ meds are (generic) epoetin alpha (brand names Epogen, Procrit, Aransp), and filgrastim (generic) (brand name Neupogen). We do have a platelet booster here that has been approved for cancer treatment; it is generically known as oprelvekin (brand name Neumega), but its use has not been FDA approved for HCV treatment to my knowledge; it tends to worsen hemolytic anemia, although we have had a few patients in forum that have tried it.
Avatar m tn You can discuss ‘Neupogen (filgrastim) with the doc; this is a GCSF drug that stimulates bone marrow production of white cells. It is generally initiated when absolute neutrofils reach .500 or that vicinity; some docs allow closer to .350, depending on occupation and other matters.
Avatar f tn Be careful however, as foods may also contain less obvious sources of gluten as there is no requirement for manufacturers to specify the composition of ingredients that contribute less than 10% of a food. For example, it may be difficult to determine the origin of a soy sauce included as an ingredient in a commercial marinade.This means that gluten may be carried over into the marinade via the soy sauce.
Avatar f tn The Hounsfield scale applies to the composition and nature of the tissue imaged and is used to represent the density of tissue. The CT software provides a Houndsfield number and refers to radiodensity. The numeric value of the composition includes air, water, and compact bone. Also called CT number, Hounsfield number. Hope this provides a perspective, and if you have any further questionsd or comments you are invited to respond.
Avatar f tn Smoke can be an irritant and an allergen. And the composition depends on the source. Cigarette smoke contains carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and nicotine are some of the major components. Minor components include acetone, acetylene, formaldehyde, propane, hydrogen cyanide, toluene, and many others. So, depending on the composition allergic reactions can develop. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn t have symptoms, or have very little symptoms now, it is likely this blockage will increase over time. The details of the blockage such as composition type, location etc are not mentioned and so your Cardiologist should give an opinion on which is the best route to take. 70% is usually borderline whether to take action with intervention or not because risks do tend to increase when they reach this size. In some people blockages increase quite quickly in size, in others they can take years.

Avatar f tn As you were prescribed by two different doctors, probably the composition of those creams is similar and they can both be used, so you can go for either.
Avatar m tn For most of the time, after urinating, the skin on my arms and legs suddenly become drier and itchy, is it possible to be due to kidney problems(I felt pain in my kidneys before) that cause changes in the urine composition(urea,electrolytes, waste, etc), resulting in imbalances in my body
2022648 tn?1328711666 Hello, this is my first time on this forum. I just wanted to see if anyone is having or has had some of the same problems. Five weeks ago I started a 48 week treatment for hep b with 180 mg Pegasys. The nurse gave me my first injection in my arm which hurt for two weeks. Since then, I've alternated the injection sites. Twice in my thighs and twice in my belly. I have these big, round, red rashes with bruises in the middle. They just seem to be getting worse.
