Pegfilgrastim 6 Mg Injection is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with a clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia. This medication contains the active ingredient pegfilgrastim, and is used primarily as a supportive therapy for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
Advantages:
However it is used following chemotherapy to increase the number of white blood cells
It reduces your chance of developing infections that might require treatment with antibiotics and/or hospital stays
