Glenstim Peg

Glenstim Peg Injection is a medicine that helps the body make more white blood cells. It is usually given to people receiving chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants to reduce the risk of infections.

Glenstim Peg Injection should not be used by anyone allergic to filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, lenograstim, lipegfilgrastim, or any of the other ingredients present in this medicine. It should also be avoided in people with rare conditions like Kostmann’s syndrome (a rare genetic disorder characterized by a severe deficiency of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell crucial for fighting bacterial infections) if they have developed certain serious blood problems.

Before starting Glenstim Peg Injection, inform your doctor if you have sickle cell disease, osteoporosis, lung problems, or if you have planned bone marrow or stem cell testing. Your doctor will also monitor your blood counts regularly during treatment.

In rare cases, Glenstim Peg Injection can cause the spleen to become enlarged, which may lead to a rupture. Signs include pain in the upper left side of your stomach or shoulder. You should seek medical help immediately if this happens.
