An artificial version of a particular natural substance produced by your body is called filgrastim. Your body can create more white blood cells with its assistance. You require white blood cells to help you fight off illnesses.
When a person's capacity to produce white blood cells is compromised (for instance, as a result of chemotherapy, persistent neutropenia, or exposure to high radiation doses), filgrastim is administered.
Additionally, it is utilized in several therapeutic treatments (such bone marrow/stem cell transplant).The products filgrastim, tbo-filgrastim, filgrastim-sndz, filgrastim-aafi, and filgrastim-ayow are the subjects of this monograph.
