Filgrastim inj

Common Questions and Answers about Filgrastim inj

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 f tn i'd small verrucous lesion which cleared out after podophyllin i went to a gyn doc .she prescribed me gardasil inj 3 doses.
Avatar m tn I agree with the above two posters. The VL should be drawn 4 weeks after the first injection. For me that is on a Monday. For my 4 week VL I had my lab drawn in the am and took my fifth injection (which was 4 weeks after I started the regimen) that evening. My case manager has always been very picky about which week I am in. She says one has not had 4 weeks of meds until the fifth inj. One has not had 8 weeks of meds until the ninth inj., etc.
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.
Avatar n tn I got the same problem. My doc also advised me to take isocort prednisolone methylcobalamine inj and my usual hypothyroid med. My ringing started 3 weeks back and now I feel somewhat better but not completely cure. I hope you will share your improvement also.
Avatar n tn Hi These are the list of medicines that i had taken during my stay in hospital 29th sept to 2nd of october(Inj Raz, Inj Voveran, Inj Emset, tab Aziresp, Tab Oflin, tab Allegra, Tab Enteroquinol, tab Ridol, i/v fluids and other supportive treatment) We did unprotected sex on 8th or 9th of october and 23rd sept was the date of last period I got conceived ? I want to know above medicines will effect on my pregnancy.
Avatar n tn no i dont think a injection would do much in this case, i think that it might jsut be too early to see something for sure and depending on the shape of your uterus it could have just been missed, i would wait till the Dr check you again and go from there did he talk to you about progesterone injections? are your levels off?
1118724 tn?1357010591 Other factors contributing to the neutrophilia induced by filgrastim include a substantial (e.g., ninefold) increase in neutrophil production rate, with several extra amplification divisions during neutrophil development, and a shortening (e.g., from the usual 4 or 5 days to 1 day) of the time required for neutrophil precursors to mature and appear in circulation." http://www.medscape.com/druginfo/monograph?
Avatar f tn Took my first interferon inj at 6 p.m. At 1.am night woke up to go to wash rm. while coming back collapsed in the hallway and was taken to emergency..They told that my BP dropped and thats the reason for my fainting. Is it the side effect of inj. Has anyone on this forum experience such side effect. They gave glucose drip and felt better afterward. My next inj is on coming Thursday and already scared about it. Can anyone advise to be better prepared this time around.
Avatar m tn I took Inc at 6am 2pm and 10pm... Ribo 8am 8pm.... the peg inj is best down at night.. I like to take Tylenol before th inj. Welcome, I hope your side effects are few.
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.
Avatar m tn After doing some searching on epidural inj, I found this whole Dr Oz article where they masked themselves as patients and not one of the pain clinics told them it was not FDA approved. Thanks!
