(pronounced [fil GRA stim]) is also known by the brand name Neupogen. Other FDA-approved filgrastim products include Nivestym and other filgrastim biosimilars; Granix (tbo-filgrastim) is a related G-CSF (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) product but is not approved as a biosimilar in the U.S. Availability can change over time, so your care team or pharmacist can confirm which filgrastim products are currently stocked\/covered under your plan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  id=\"call-to-action-b4f04accc6269f70b0be485f0d7c0bfa\" style=\"\" class=\"ct_call_to_action\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"block-wrap cta\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-column\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_headings\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cta__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpeak to a Chemo Specialist\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cta_btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"tel:8777780318\">(877) 778-0318<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Neupogen was the first medication produced based on the active element, filgrastim. These drugs have been used successfully for cancer patients to stimulate the growth of white blood cells. Based on Neupogen, Zarxio became the first biosimilar product available in the United States in March 2015. Thus, Zarxio is similar to Neupogen in its mechanism of action, administration route, strength, and dosage. While Zarxio is highly similar to Neupogen in clinical effect and how it\u2019s used, it is not identical \u2014 there can be differences in inactive ingredients and manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Biosimilar\"><\/span>What Is a Biosimilar?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A biosimilar is a biologic medicine that is highly similar to an FDA-approved biologic (the reference product) with no clinically meaningful differences. Some biosimilars may also be FDA-designated as interchangeable, which is a separate regulatory status. Zarxio is a biosimilar of Neupogen but is not FDA-designated as interchangeable.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mechanism_of_Action\"><\/span>Mechanism of Action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filgrastim is called a hematopoietic agent and is used to treat neutropenia. Filgrastim is not a hazardous drug, nor is it a form of chemotherapy. It is, however, a blood cell colony-stimulating agent (CSA) which aids in the production of white blood cells (especially neutrophils) directly from the bone marrow.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Neutropenia\"><\/span>What Is Neutropenia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neutropenia occurs when you have too few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/publications\/dictionaries\/cancer-terms\/def\/neutrophil\">neutrophils<\/a>, a type of white blood cell that helps our bodies fight off infections. Having neutropenia indicates a higher risk of developing serious bacterial and fungal infections. Neutropenia is a very common side effect for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  id=\"call-to-action-2c36e8c16c1864bf9c9cd54271214ef8\" style=\"\" class=\"ct_call_to_action\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"block-wrap cta\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-column\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_headings\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cta__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpeak to a Specialist About Copay Assistance\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cta_btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#form\">Consult a Chemo Specialist<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_Zarxio_Used\"><\/span>How Is Zarxio Used?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filgrastim has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/\">FDA<\/a>) for the treatment of severe long-standing neutropenia and neutropenia caused by chemotherapy.

A few things to keep in mind are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not have all the side effects listed below. Many people may experience little to no side effects.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The severity of side effects may vary from person to person, so do not compare your side effects with other people\u2019s experiences.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the side effects will improve when therapy is discontinued.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not hide any symptoms; when you feel any discomfort, do not hesitate to tell your physician or pharmacist about it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Note<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The side effects listed below are not a comprehensive list of all side effects. Talk to your doctor if you have questions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the more serious side effects of Zarxio are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bone_and_Muscle_Aches\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bone and Muscle Aches<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most common side effect of Zarxio since it stimulates the bone marrow (a spongy substance found inside of bone), causing it to swell, resulting in potential bone pain. It commonly starts about 1 to 2 days after receiving a Zarxio dose and can last up to a week, depending on the person. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bone or muscle pains can be controlled using over-the-counter painkillers like Tylenol or Motrin.

Many people see an increase in neutrophils within 1\u20133 days, and counts may continue to improve over several days with continued dosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your provider will monitor your response with blood tests (such as CBC\/ANC) and will decide how long you should stay on Zarxio based on your lab results, your chemotherapy schedule, and your overall condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filgrastim (pronounced [fil GRA stim]) is also known by the brand name Neupogen.
