Grastim 300 Mg Vial Injection

Product Description

Product introduction

Grastim Injection is used to prevent infections after chemotherapy. It is a growth factor that stimulates the bone marrow to produce white blood cells. These cells protect the body against infections.

Grastim Injection is given as an injection by a qualified medical professional. You should continue to take as long as your doctor advises for it. The duration of treatment varies according to your need and response to treatment. You might be asked to get regular tests done to check the number of blood cells in your blood and your bone density level while you are taking this medicine.

The most common side effects of this medicine include bone pain, weakness, headache, and rash. Other than this, pain or redness at the site of injection is common. But, inform your doctor if you notice a lump, swelling, or bruising that does not go away. It might not prevent you from all kinds of infection, hence inform your doctor if you notice fever, chills, rash, sore throat, and swelling around the face or neck.

Many other medicines can affect, or be affected by, this medicine so let your healthcare team know all medications you are using. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The use of effective contraception by both males and females during treatment is important to avoid pregnancy.

How Grastim 300 Mg Works

Grastim 300 Mg contains Filgrastim, a recombinant hematopoietic growth factor that mimics the action of human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). It activates the bone marrow to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of neutrophil precursors, ultimately increasing neutrophil counts and supporting the immune response, particularly in patients undergoing chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant.


Proper Usage and Administration

This medication is provided as a single-use, ready-to-inject vial and should be administered only under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Depending on the clinical situation, Grastim can be injected subcutaneously or intravenously. It is crucial to follow storage instructions strictly-refrigerate at 2C to 8C, protect from light, and do not freeze-to maintain its efficacy and sterility until the expiration date.
