Terapijske indikacije:
Reduction in the duration of neutropenia and the incidence of febrile neutropenia in patients treated with established cytotoxic chemotherapy for malignancy (with the exception of chronic myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndromes) and reduction in the duration of neutropenia in patients undergoing myeloablative therapy followed by bone-marrow transplantation considered to be at increased risk of prolonged severe neutropenia. The safety and efficacy of filgrastim are similar in adults and children receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy.Mobilisation of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC).In children and adults with severe congenital, cyclic, or idiopathic neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of ≤0.5 x 109/l, and a history of severe or recurrent infections, long term administration of filgrastim is indicated to increase neutrophil counts and to reduce the incidence and duration of infection-related events.Treatment of persistent neutropenia (ANC ≤ 1.0 x 109/l) in patients with advanced HIV infection, in order to reduce the risk of bacterial infections when other therapeutic options are inappropriate.

WHAT ZARZIO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Zarzio is a white blood cell growth factor (granulocyte colony
stimulating factor) and belongs to a
group of proteins called cytokines. Growth factors are proteins that
are produced naturally in the body
but they can also be made using biotechnology for use as a medicine.
Zarzio works by encouraging the
bone marrow to produce more white blood cells.
A reduction in the number of white blood cells (neutropenia) can occur
for several reasons and makes
your body less able to fight infection. Zarzio stimulates the bone
marrow to produce new white cells
quickly.
Zarzio can be used:
•
to increase the number of white blood cells after treatment with
chemotherapy to help prevent
infections;
•
to increase the number of white blood cells after a bone marrow
transplant to help prevent
infections;
•
before high-dose chemotherapy to make the bone marrow produce more
stem cells which can be
collected and given back to you after your treatment. These can be
taken from you or from a
