In this video I'm going to talk about neupogen side effects as well as some alternative medicine that I feel you should be aware of.
Neupogen is a drug that helps your body make white blood cells. It can be used in cases of chemotherapy, radiation treatment or any other type of condition that reduces white blood cells.
The good news that according to chemocare.com there are no common side effects with this drug. This means that there is a 70% chance that your not going to experience a side effect.
In 10 – 29% of people that take this drug could experience bone pain. This is because white blood cells are created in bone marrow. This makes sense. Plus there could be some discomfort around the area where the injection was.
Like any medicine the body could have a difficult time accepting it, like an allergic reaction. This could be a fever, rashes, uncontrolled bleeding, shortness of breath or a rapid heartbeat. If that happens you might want to stop using the drug.
More good news is that it's a whole loss expensive than neulasta at around $200 per shot and multiple shots may be needed. Neulasta is around 3-7 grand a shot. Plus a company called Amgen Assist can help with money as well.
If your interested in this drug one herb that should be on your radar is astragalus. There are tons of studies that show it helps with cancer and recovery. For example in a 1989 study at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, patients with lung or liver cancer were given astragalus combinations during their courses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy; the one-year survival rates increased from 28% to 71%. That is a big number.
Garlic can help. In a 2003 study at the University of Llorin in Nigeria showed that when rats took garlic they experienced a significant increase in white blood cells.
Green Tea can help as well as ensuring your getting enough vitamins. For example zinc is connected with white blood cells. The American Cancer Society says that some studies have shown zinc levels were lower in patients with cancer or leukemia.
In conclusion you might want to look at these other choices, which could be helpful even if it keeps you from a few shots of neupogen.
