Product Description

🔹 Product Overview
GRASTIM 300 mcg Injection is a prescription injectable medicine used to prevent and treat neutropenia (low white blood cell count), especially in patients undergoing chemotherapy or certain medical treatments that reduce immune cell production. It contains Filgrastim 300 mcg, a recombinant human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more neutrophils, helping the body fight infections.
GRASTIM 300 mcg is administered by a healthcare professional through subcutaneous or intravenous injection as directed by the treating physician.
