WHAT NEUPOPEG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Neupopeg is used to reduce the duration of neutro
penia (low white blood cell count) and the
occurrence of febrile neutropenia (low white blood cell count with a
fever) which can be caused by the
use of cytotoxic chemotherapy (medicines that destroy rapidly growing
cells). White blood cells are
important as they help your body fight infection. These cells are very
sensitive to the effects of
chemotherapy which can cause the number of these cells in your body to
decrease. If white blood
cells fall to a low level there may not be enough left in the body to
fight bacteria and you may have an
increased risk of infection.
Your doctor has given you Neupopeg to encourage your bo
ne marrow (part of the bone which makes
blood cells) to produce more white blood cells that help your body
fight infection.
