Glenstim 6mg Injection consists of the active ingredient Peglylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. This is synthesized from the bacteria E.coli. It belongs to a category of proteins called cytokines and is similar to the natural protein produced by the body. It is a leukocyte growth factor indicated to reduce infections in patients receiving anti-cancer drugs with bone marrow suppressive properties. By reducing the risk of infections, Glenstim 6mg Injection can help cancer patients receive their full dose of chemotherapy on schedule, improving treatment outcomes. 

This medication is also prescribed to increase the survival of patients exposed to radiotherapy. Patients who receive Glenstim 6mg Injection may experience less fatigue, fewer days of fever and infection, and less time spent in the hospital. This can lead to an improved quality of life during cancer treatment. This can interfere with bone marrow function testing, such as aspiration and biopsy, and cause false-positive results. Patients should inform their healthcare provider that they receive Glenstim 6mg Injection before undergoing any bone marrow function testing.

Uses of Glenstim Peg 6mg InjectionGlenstim 6mg Injection is used in treating the following:

  • Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia
  • Chemotherapy-induced fever
  • Chemotherapy-induced infections

Therapeutic Effects of Glenstim Peg 6mg Injection

The therapeutic effect of the Glenstim 6mg Injection is to stimulate the production of neutrophils in the bone marrow. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that help to fight infections. Chemotherapy drugs can cause damage to the bone marrow, leading to a decrease in the number of neutrophils, which can increase the risk of infections. So this medication works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more neutrophils, which can help prevent infections in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This can reduce the risk of infections, hospitalizations, and other complications associated with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.

Interaction of Glenstim Peg 6mg Injection with other drugsInform your healthcare provider about all your medicines, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Glenstim 6mg Injection and reduce effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
