• CELSTEMX 24MG/1.2ML INJECTION is a medication designed to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood. This process is crucial for stem cell transplantation. The injection works by targeting and blocking a specific protein known as CXCR4 (chemokine receptor type 4) found on the surface of stem cells. CXCR4 plays a key role in retaining stem cells within the bone marrow microenvironment.
• By inhibiting CXCR4, CELSTEMX 24MG/1.2ML INJECTION disrupts the interaction between CXCR4 and its ligand, SDF-1 (stromal cell-derived factor 1), which is abundant in the bone marrow. This disruption signals the stem cells to detach from the bone marrow niche and migrate into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, these stem cells can be efficiently collected through a process called apheresis. During apheresis, blood is drawn from the patient, passed through a machine that separates and collects the stem cells, and then the remaining blood components are returned to the patient.
• The collected stem cells are then processed, cryopreserved (frozen), and stored until they are needed for transplantation. This approach allows for a higher yield of stem cell collection compared to traditional methods, potentially leading to faster engraftment and improved outcomes for patients undergoing stem cell transplantation. The use of CELSTEMX 24MG/1.2ML INJECTION helps to streamline the stem cell collection process and reduce the number of apheresis sessions required, ultimately benefiting both the patient and the healthcare system.

• CELSTEMX 24MG/1.2ML INJECTION is administered via subcutaneous injection, meaning it's injected beneath your skin. Due to the specific nature of this medication and the need for professional administration, a healthcare provider will administer this injection. Self-administration is not recommended to ensure proper technique and dosage.
• The dosage and frequency of CELSTEMX 24MG/1.2ML INJECTION will be determined by your doctor, taking into account your specific medical condition, its severity, and your individual response to the treatment. It's crucial to adhere to your doctor's prescribed schedule and dosage for optimal results. Factors like your weight, other medical conditions, and other medications you are taking may also influence your individual dosage requirements.
• Before beginning treatment with CELSTEMX 24MG/1.2ML INJECTION, be sure to discuss your complete medical history with your doctor, including any allergies, existing health problems, and all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are currently taking. This comprehensive information will help your doctor to make informed decisions about your treatment plan and to minimize potential risks or interactions.
