Fillif-Peg Prefilled Syringe is used to prevent infections in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment. It belongs to a class of medicines known as colony-stimulating factors, which help your body produce more white blood cells to fight infections.
This medicine specifically helps prevent neutropenia, a condition where the number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) drops dangerously low after chemotherapy. When neutropenia occurs, your body becomes vulnerable to potentially serious infections. The medicine stimulates your bone marrow to produce more neutrophils, helping maintain your body's natural defence against infections.
This medicine must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional through a subcutaneous injection (under the skin). You should inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially lung problems, blood disorders, kidney issues, or ongoing medications, before starting this medicine. If you experience any side effects during treatment, notify your doctor promptly. Continue receiving the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
