Chỉ dẫn điều trị:

Biograstim is indicated for the 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 for the 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.Biograstim is indicated for the mobilisation of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC).In patients, children or 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 Biograstim is indicated to increase neutrophil counts and to reduce the incidence and duration of infection-related events.Biograstim is indicated for the treatment of persistent neutropenia (ANC less than or equal to 1.0 x 109/l) in patients with advanced HIV infection, in order to reduce the risk of bacterial infections when other options to manage neutropenia are inappropriate.

WHAT BIOGRASTIM
IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT BIOGRASTIM IS
Biograstim contains the active substance filgrastim. Filgrastim is a
protein produced by biotechnology
in bacteria called
_Escherichia coli_
. It belongs to a group of proteins called cytokines and is very
similar to a natural protein (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
[G-CSF]) produced by your own
body. Filgrastim stimulates the bone marrow (the tissue where new
blood cells are made) to produce
more blood cells, especially certain types of white cells. White cells
are important as they help your
body fight infection.
WHAT BIOGRASTIM IS USED FOR
Your doctor has prescribed Biograstim for you to help your body make
more white blood cells. Your
doctor will tell you why you are being treated with Biograstim.
Biograstim is useful in several
different conditions, which are:
-
chemotherapy;
-
bone marrow transplantation;
-

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Biograstim is indicated for the 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 for the 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.
Biograstim is indicated for the mobilisation of peripheral blood
progenitor cells (PBPC).
In patients, children or adults, with severe congenital, cyclic, or
idiopathic neutropenia with an
absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of ≤ 0.5 x 10
9
/L, and a history of severe or recurrent infections, long
term administration of Biograstim is indicated to increase neutrophil
counts and to reduce the
incidence and duration of infection-related events.
Biograstim is indicated for the treatment of persistent neutropenia
(ANC less than or equal to
1.0 x 10
9
/L) in patients with advanced HIV infection, in or
