  • It is typically administered as a daily injection into the tissue just beneath the skin or directly into a vein.
  • You will generally receive your first dose at least 24 hours after your chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant.
  • Store Pegfilgrastim in the refrigerator, protect it from light, and do not shake it.
  • For a more comfortable injection, allow the syringe to reach room temperature by leaving it out for 30 minutes before use.
  • Pain or redness at the injection site is common.
  • Inform your doctor if you notice a lump, swelling, or bruising that persists.
  • Exercise caution while driving or performing tasks that require concentration, as Pegfilgrastim may cause dizziness.

Frequently asked questions

Pegfilgrastim acts on hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow to stimulate the production of neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell essential for fighting infections.
Pegfilgrastim is a colony stimulating factor medication that reduces the risk of infections and chemotherapy-related side effects, but it does not treat cancer directly. It is administered as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) 24 hours after chemotherapy, either by a healthcare professional or by the patient at home after proper training.
