NEUPOGENÂ® (nu-po-jen) (filgrastim) Injection. What is NEUPOGEN? NEUPOGEN is a man-made form of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), which is made using the bacteria Escherichia coli. G-CSF is a substance produced by the body. It stimulates the growth of neutrophils (nu-tro-fils), a type of white blood cell important in the body's fight against infection. Who should not take NEUPOGEN?
Neupogen works by stimulating the production of a certain type of white blood cell called neutrophils. Neutrophils help protect the body from infection, and having a low neutrophil count (known medically as neutropenia) increases the risk of infection.
