Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Neupogen is a prescription medication to prevent febrile neutropenia and is prescribed for people who are having chemotherapy treatments and need to increase their low white blood cell count. Filgrastim is a G-CSF class drug that stimulates bone marrow so that white blood cells are produced in greater numbers and mature faster into neutrophils ready to fight bacteria in the bloodstream and limit the chances of a neutropenia infection.

Along with syringe, assemble the following materials that will also be required for your injection:
Clean administration site.
Hold prefilled syringe by barrel and pull gray needle cap off.

Point needle up and tap gently to force air to rise to the top.
Push plunger rod up to the line on the barrel that matches your prescribed dose.
Pinch injection site to create firm surface on the skin.
Hold pinch while inserting needle into skin at 45 to 90 degrees.
Push syringe plunger rod until it reaches bottom.
Once injection is complete pull syringe out and away from skin.
Pull orange safety guard over needle and hear it click into position before disposing in sharps container.
