Pegex 6mg Injection contains Pegfilgrastim which belongs to the group of medicines called Colony stimulating factors. It is used to prevent the destruction of white blood cells (WBC) in blood that is caused due to chemotherapy. It reduces the occurrence of neutropenia (low WBC count in blood) and febrile neutropenia (low WBC count in blood with fever) among patients receiving chemotherapy.
Pegfilgrastim is a protein synthesized through biotechnology in E. coli bacteria. It belongs to the cytokine family of proteins and is very similar to a natural protein (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) produced by your body. White blood cells (WBC) are important because they help your body fight infection. These cells are highly sensitive to the effects of chemotherapy, which might cause a decrease in the number. If your WBC decreases, your body may not have enough cells to combat bacteria, putting you at risk of infection.
PEGEX 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 for regular tests done to check the number of blood cells in your blood and your bone density level while you are taking this medicine.
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. You must avoid driving or attention-seeking activity if you experience dizziness after taking this medicine.
Pegex 6mg Injection is a colony-stimulating factor that exerts its action by acting on blood-forming cells by binding to specific cell surface receptors, thereby inducing cell division, multiplication, and cell functional activation.
