Product Information
How It Works
Pegfilgrastim is a long-acting form of G-CSF used as supportive treatment for patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can reduce neutrophil levels, leaving patients more vulnerable to infections and febrile neutropenia.
Pegstim helps stimulate the production and release of neutrophils from the bone marrow following chemotherapy. It is generally administered according to the chemotherapy schedule and under the supervision of an oncologist or qualified healthcare professional.
