User Reviews for Neupogen injection

every since my son has started this treatment his counts has increased and our ER visits has decreased greatly. The only pproblems we are having now is the nosebleeds.

My mother in law injects me once a day for a 5 day run each cycle of chemotherapy. The injection doesn't hurt much at all. I didn't have any side effects until my 5th shot. I have experienced pulsating pain in my lower spine and some other bones. Nothing a Tylenol can't take care of. Also I had a headache (but not sure if that is related or not). Overall, piece of cake.

Severe, crushing headaches until I went gluten-free due to an auto-immune condition (Hashimotos thyroiditis). Now getting a small headache, but neutrophils not going up.

On the 7th day of a ten day injection regimen. Two injections of 300 mg/l and one of 480 mg/l daily. Having bone pain in the hips and occassionally the skull. Will find out how successful the treatment is when the stem-cell harvesting is complete. Had to fill out all three stars to post. Results in one week.

I had a kidney transpant in July,2009...last month , I contracted a mega virus, CMV,which attacks the organs. I was put on Valcyte for the Cytomegalovirus (CMV)..This medication wiped out my white blood cells to 500.I started using Neupogen Inj.on Wednesday and every day thereafter my white blood cells increased but not significantly.I'm on day 5 now and yesterday my level was 1200.Will see how I progress as I continue 2 more days treatment.

hurts initially when injected. pain goes away very quickly. suffer fron muscle and bone ache constantly

My mom has been getting a shot over a period of 2wks. Since she has been getting this med, she is experiencing severe headaches with right jaw pain and facial sensitivity. After receiving a shot today, she has developed a reddened ring around her right eye (looks like a black eye). She is due for another shot tomorrow but I am going to ask the doctor to recommend another treatment remedy because she is really not feeling any better at this juncture.

My wife got an injection of this after an allergic reaction to a sulfa drug for Urinary Tract Infection which killed off nearly all of her white blood cells. She was a mess. One shot of this drug did the trick. The count when 1.4 to 12 in about a day. It leveled off to about 9.

helps in recovery during chemo. blood count bottoms out a week after treatment but with the meds it stabalizes a couple of days later. Very effective.

I have experienced joint pains while on neupogen but for the most part it was tolerable.

In 1994 a blood test revealed an almost zero neutraphil count from unknown causes but which was eventually attributed to "auto-immune neutrapenia". Neupogen was prescribed in 1995 and I have been on it ever since then. At present an inj of 1 cc twice a week maintains my blood count within acceptable limits

Been on injections every other day for almost a year. I am a flight attendant for a living so when I work I am subjected to all kinds of bacteria and germs. This drug has been a life saver for me as when I was younger in the 80's I would be in isolation in the hospitol over and over since back then nothing could raise your white count. It has enabled me to have a normal life without becoming deathly ill. (Which happened prior to this drug.) I find that the lower my count is, the more I feel the side effects. So at times it is worse than others.Nothing too bad, just headache and some pelvic pain. This starts about 5-6 hours after I inject. It is aways gone by morning. As long as I stick to my schedule I do well. I can inject better with larger syringes as they hold more and I can inject it faster. The insulin syringes are more awkward...but are free with the script! Just make sure you always take your shot out of the fridge about 20 min before you inject it as it doesn't sting as much when it is room temp. Read More Read Less

I injected myself, stomache area, six times from Tuesday through Sunday. My White count was very low. Tuesday night was bad. Pelvic area and lower back pain. Wednesday and Thurs bad too. Started taking 1/2 Percacette twice a day. This seemed to help. Recommend premedicating before shot to downgrade the side effects.

I have a condtion that cause me to have low white blood cell and i have to take this inj every other day until the condtion goes away which they don't if it evey will so my experience my diffent than other it very painfull my bone hurt and the vain in theplase i give them in become very blue

No side effects.

I inject Neupogen 3 times a week, and do not like the shot. My white count is stable, and that makes it tolerable. I am on 1000mg Ribiviran daily and Pegasys injection for Hep C. These two drugs caused my decrease in white count.

Take injections every other day. Late in day start to get a "distinct" headache. Just get slight muscle pain and pelvic pain. Interestingly, have two small places that look like a rash, one on each hand, that Dr. says is from the drug. This isn't bad but never goes away. HATE giving myself the shots.....plus I travel for a living so it is a hassle keeping the vials chilled!

got the shot on Tuesday. Saturday up all night with pulsating pain in lower back both sides. Pain increased upon urination and defecation. Lasted partly thru Sunday.

I have to take shots everyday, I have been on it daily at a lower dosage for about 4 months now, and I have now developed a great deal of pain in my kidneys and have started bruising so easily. It has stabilized my counts so that I am not getting sick as often. It did not really help when I took the larger doses 3 times a week. It was also difficult to get my insurance to cover the RX for me to take it myself at home.
