How Pegfilgrastim 6 mg Injection Works

Pegfilgrastim acts by stimulating the bone marrow to increase the production of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that is essential for fighting infection. This support is especially crucial for patients with non-myeloid cancers undergoing chemotherapy, which often lowers neutrophil levels.


Ease of Administration and Dosing

Administered as a subcutaneous injection, Pegfilgrastim is designed for once-per-chemotherapy cycle use, simplifying patient treatment schedules. The prefilled syringe allows convenient, single-use administration by healthcare providers in clinical settings.


Storage and Stability Information

To maintain efficacy and safety, Pegfilgrastim injection must be stored at 2C to 8C and must not be frozen. The prefilled syringe remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored as recommended.
