If they find that your counts are low, one of the things which your oncologists may do is prescribe a dose of Neupogen (figrastim). I have always been confused between Neupogen and another drug which does essentially the same thing, Neulasta (pegfilgrastim). I finally asked what the difference was.

Filgrastim-sndz is a man-made version of a certain natural substance made in your body. It is used to help your body make more white blood cells. White blood cells are important to help you fight off infections. Filgrastim-sndz is given to people whose ability to make white blood cells is reduced (for instance, due to chemotherapy or chronic neutropenia). It is also used in certain treatment procedures (such as bone marrow/stem cell transplant).
