Descriptions

Pegfilgrastim-bmez injection is used to treat neutropenia (low white blood cells) that is caused by cancer medicines. It is a synthetic (man-made) form of a substance that is naturally produced in your body called a colony stimulating factor. Pegfilgrastim-bmez helps the bone marrow to make new white blood cells.

Pegfilgrastim-bmez injection is also used to treat acute radiation syndrome (radiation sickness) in patients who have been exposed to high levels (myelosuppressive doses) of radiation. Myelosuppression is a bone marrow problem that can lead to a decrease in blood cell counts.

When certain cancer medicines are used to fight cancer cells, they also affect the white blood cells that fight infections. Pegfilgrastim-bmez is used to reduce the risk of infection while you are being treated with cancer medicines.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
