Neup works for the most part all of the time,however is it your ANC (absolute neutrophils) that usually would dictate whether neup is need or not.
best ..
The side effects of the neupogen were more pronounced when I did them after my first tx, just like you said. I think that all the various side effects of the treatment drugs masked the sx of the neup. Seems like I took 3 or 4 shots after I was done, just to boost the WBC. We do what we have to do, don't we.
So I went to my doctor today. The end of every visit I get a summary. Well on this visit it list a diagnoses of Noxious substance affecting fetus or newborn via placenta or Breast milk. I googled this and it came up all about drugs. Which i dont do. I recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and am on pain killers but haven't took but a couple of them. Would that have anything to do with this or what? I'm confused as to why this is on my summary. Any advice is welcome.
I take 1/2 dose of Neupogen on Mon, Wed. and Sat. I inject the Pegasus
on Friday. I was given the option of taking the Neupogen on Friday, to avoid 4 days of injections. I decided I rather do 4 days than 2 in one day.
Pegasus and Neupogen can be taken on the same day.
My doctor has assured me I can just about take it anytime without concern
for tx. I trust his opinion in that he treats medical professionals from around the country.
Neupogen is a very often used rescue drug to help raise whit blood cells. many doctors would do this when the ANC gets to 500 and some would let it fall to 300 or so.
often tho ,,it will drop and then stabilize or even rise some. Good idea to get the Neupogen at the ready just in case that doesn"t happen and it continues to drop.
Does it even skin tone with out lightening the entire face, will is cause more bad than good, or is it not the best product to use for blemishes? I am an African American female of dark complexion, 20 years old.
Also, is there a face cleaner you reccommend for someone to use if they are allergic to the water in their area to prevent other bumps from forming peridodicaly?
Thanks.
as my doctor said, and it was either take Neupogen along with Pegasys and Ribavirin or stop treatment all together. I have been clear of the virus since 11/08, but have had a slew of issues that are hindering my life. I was just wondering what others who took Neupogen experienced post treatment, if anything.
Thanks in advance!!!
I recall that when I started the neulasta (pegylated form of neupogen that stays in system longer), I was required to come back next day for blood draws to see if I responded to it and how well I responded. Towards the end of TX, the effects (holding my neuts above danger level) lasted a shorter time, so I guess the blood helper drugs may get less effective but they did still work.
The neupogen (or neulasta) works overnight. Other posters (was it nygirl?
I did, however, look up their website and would like to share my thoughts on what I read. Any time you want to begin taking this type of product, you should first discuss it with your endocrinologist. They will be able to advise you on whether or not the product is suited for you. This product contains herbs that can affect your bg level, so do not take it without your doctor's approval.
Once I had to reduce to 1/2 of Riba because my ANC dropped to 400 and wouldn't come back up. I only did it for a week. I believe it's your ANC that is the driver not only your WBC. But, I know my dr. looked at my platlets & hemoglobin along with the ANC, before determining the reduction. When my WBC was around 1.8 - 1.9, I stayed on full tx.
..do anyone know whats the characteristics of enlarged lymphnode of HIv patients...i would like to know ..its location......hard,soft or rubbery?????and how about tenderness ..do it pains???and more about fluctuation???...ifanyone knows about it let me know ..
I just read that a lot of people try NOT to take Neupogen unless it is a necessity due to sx. I am on Neupogen and I take it 3 times a week and have been taking it for 8 mos. now.
Does anyone know exactly why people/anyone would want to NOT take Neupogen?
Your answers may provide some insight for me and my sx's.
t make an issue out of low ANC. In my total of 134 weeks of tx i never once did neupogen and mine got below .5 at times.... When my grandson was in junior bowling league i brought it up being i was surrounded by at least 50 little rug rats in a bowling alley every Saturday... He thought i was more app to need Tylenol for the headache i was going to get. And he was right that was the only thing it caused me. Never caught anything.
they caught swine flue) from having a doc who left them on high dose of interferon even while having low WBC.
