PEG FILTERO 6MG/0.6ML PFS

About

Peg Filtero 6mg Injection is used to help prevent infections in patients undergoing chemotherapy. It is a growth factor that works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more white blood cells, which play a key role in protecting the body from infections.

This medicine is administered as an injection by a qualified healthcare professional. Your doctor will decide the duration of treatment depending on your needs and response. While on this medication, you may be advised to undergo regular blood tests to monitor your blood cell count and bone density levels.

Common side effects include bone pain, joint pain, headache, nausea, and muscle pain. Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site may also occur. Inform your doctor if you develop a lump, persistent swelling, or bruising. Since this medicine may not fully protect you from all infections, seek medical attention if you experience fever, chills, sore throat, shortness of breath, or swelling of the face or neck.

Tell your healthcare team about all the medicines you are currently taking, as drug interactions are possible. Peg Filtero 6mg Injection is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
