Feedback:
Filgrastim (Neupogen) is used to stimulate blood cell production by the bone marrow in places with bone marrow transplantation or chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Filgrastim does not decrease white blood cells in response to infection. Filgrastim increases growth of blood vessels related to ischemic heart disease. Filgrastim does not decrease platelet count related to bleeding.
