chemother. for malign. (with the exception
of chronic myeloid leukaemia and
myelodysplastic syndr.) and for the reduct.
in the duration of neutropenia in pts.
undergoing myeloablative ther. followed
by bone marrow transplant., considered
to be at incr. risk of prolon. severe
neutropenia. The safety and efficacy of
Filgrastim are similar in adults and child.
receiving cytotoxic chemother. Indic. for
the mobilisation of peripheral blood
progenitor cells (PBPCs). In pts., children/
adults, with severe congen., cyclic or
idiopathic neutropenia with an ANC of
≤0.5 ×10^9/l, and a history of severe or
recurrent infec., long-term admin. of this
drug is indicated to increase neutrophil
counts and to reduce the incidence and
duration of infect.-related events.
