Neulasta and Neupogen
Hi Cheryl,
You know Neulasta is long acting - you should not need more than one injection/week. Neupogen has only effect a few days - I have been taking one injection/day during 9 days once when my WBCs disappeared when I tried an iron chelating drug called Ferriprox. Both often give bone pain. Do remember that all pain killers can decrease platelets. Kind egards Birgitta-A
