Product Description

Nufil Safe 300mcg Injection contains filgrastim (recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor). Growth factors are generally proteins found naturally in the body, stimulating the multiplication of blood cells. Nufil Safe 300mcg Injection is used to treat neutropenia (low number of white blood cells). Neutropenia occurs for many reasons and makes the body less capable of fighting the infection. 

It is used to increase the number of white blood cells after chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant to prevent infections. It is used in advanced HIV infection to reduce the complications of infections. It can also be used before high-dose chemotherapy. Exposure to high levels of radiation can damage bone marrow. Nufil Safe 300mcg Injection increases the chance of survival of patients exposed to radiation therapy. It is important to inform your doctor if you have anemia and bone-related disorders.
