filgrastim iv push

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!

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.

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.

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.

I been feeling uncomfortable down south like I need to push. Its like a bubble and I been having really thick white oder less discharge as well as gushed of clear semen smelling discharge. .

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.

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.

I had iv and trust me it does not last long at all and my Dr would only give iv meds once during labor.

m still getting some lightening crotch but I def feel stretching too every time that he moves!

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.

Why do the doctors push on your stomach after giving birth.

t and continued to push. One push and I felt the head pop out. A small push followed and she popped out onto the bed. The doc then walked in. The baby was crying on her own and had no signs of distress from the meconium. She was born at 2:47am and she is perfect! Not how I imagined the birth of my third child but that's life. Due to having the flu I got to hold her fifteen mins and then they took her to a different floor. I miss my baby but I know it's for her safety.

I recently received an IV injection (in late December) and while trying to push through the vein wall, the person handling the syringe appeared to have subcutaneously injected some of the solution before actually entering the vein he was aiming for. It feels like a sore muscle or the way you feel after drawing blood but it's been almost two months and it's been particularly noticeable the last few days when I stretch out my arm. Any advice or info would be appreciated.

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!

, 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.

One day between Neup and Peg is all that is needed and if push came to shove you don't even need that. Agree with the others, ANC of 700 isn't that bad. With the dosage of Neup you're taking, that ANC is going to rise and it won't take long either. Like FlGuy said, you have the Peg in your possession so.........

I got mine when i was 3 or 4 centimeters. Mine didn't wear off because it was connected to the iv so it was constantly running throughout my labor which lasted about 10hours after i got it.

Gave me 15mg of Ketamine slow 10 min iv push infusion w/ Lorazepam and Midazolam IV and it helped the pain, a lot, also the 20-30mg IV Very Slow 1000ml bag of infusion over 45 min to 1/hr. helped with my Pain, PTSD and depression alot ((no hallucinations w/ myself just dissociated )) and my audio was distorted Ketamine is the hospital's version of PCP and it will be coming back also as an alternative to Narcotics. from the world for me just like laughing Gas for me.

s epidurals wearing off before its time too push and want to know if they will give me another if I need it ??

Ok so im on my 3rd baby and with my first 2 I had super fast labors which were all natural in fact with my second I lived 20 mins away from a hospital and barely made it I was fully dialted and fully effaced and ready to push as I walked in the door the Dr said that im lucky I didn't have him on the way!! Well my baby girl will be here soon and my hospital is 45 mins away ( we moved) they offered me to set up an induction bcuz I may not make it to hospital in time....

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.

Well IV meds only last so long. An epidural lasts the whole time you have pain until you give birth.
