• RELIGRAST 300MCG INJECTION is a medication that contains a colony-stimulating factor. This factor works directly on the cells in your body that are responsible for producing blood. It achieves this by attaching itself to specific receptors located on the surface of these blood-forming cells.
• Once attached, RELIGRAST 300MCG INJECTION initiates a cascade of effects, most notably stimulating cell division, prompting these cells to multiply rapidly. This increased cell production is crucial for boosting the overall number of blood cells in the body, especially white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections.
• Furthermore, RELIGRAST 300MCG INJECTION doesn't just increase the quantity of blood cells; it also enhances their functionality. The activated cells are better equipped to perform their designated roles, such as identifying and eliminating harmful pathogens or repairing damaged tissue. This dual action makes RELIGRAST 300MCG INJECTION a valuable tool in managing conditions where the body's ability to produce or utilize blood cells is compromised.

• RELIGRAST 300MCG INJECTION is available as a prefilled syringe and solution for injection. A trained healthcare professional will administer the injection either subcutaneously (into the fatty tissue just under your skin) or intravenously (slowly into your vein). Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose, route of administration, and frequency based on your specific medical condition and individual needs. The dosage may also depend on other factors that your doctor will consider.
• If your doctor determines that you or your caregiver can administer RELIGRAST 300MCG INJECTION at home using the prefilled syringe, it is crucial to carefully read and understand the 'Instructions for Use' provided in the package insert that comes with the medicine. Your doctor or another healthcare professional will provide thorough training on proper self-administration techniques. Do not attempt to administer the injection if you have not received adequate training or are unsure about the correct procedure. Proper administration is essential for the medication to be effective and to minimize the risk of complications.
• Before each injection, visually inspect the prefilled syringe for any particulate matter or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the syringe. Ensure that you inject the full dose as prescribed by your doctor. Dispose of used syringes safely and responsibly, following the guidelines provided by your healthcare professional or local regulations.
