FAQs

How does Filgrastim work?

This medicine works by increasing the generation of white blood cells, which aids in the defense against infections.

Where do you put the Filgrastim?

If Filgrastim is injected subcutaneously (under the skin), it may be administered into the outer region of the upper arm, thigh, belly or upper outer buttocks. It must be administered into the fatty tissue rather than your muscle.

What is the purpose of administering Filgrastim 24 hours following chemotherapy?

Filgrastim and other comparable medicines are given 24 hours following chemotherapy to avoid interactions of medicines, which might result in toxic (hazardous) pharmacological levels.

Is the Filgrastim shot uncomfortable?

Any pain at the site of injection was not recorded during Filgrastim clinical trials, and it may be affected by your own pain tolerance. Injections that are administered under the skin are generally less painful than those delivered in the muscle.

Is Filgrastim a habit-forming medicine?

No habit-forming properties have been found to be associated with Filgrastim.
