About Pelmeg
Pelmeg is a medicine that can only be obtained with a prescription and treatment should be started and supervised by a doctor who has experience in the treatment of cancer or blood disorders.
What it is used for
There is no information available on what Pelmeg is used for.
How it is used
Pelmeg is available as a prefilled syringe containing a solution for injection under the skin. It is given as a single dose of 6 mg injected under the skin at least 24 hours after the end of each cycle of chemotherapy (treatment with cancer medicines). Patients can inject themselves if they have been trained appropriately.
How it works
The active substance in Pelmeg, pegfilgrastim, is a form of filgrastim, which is very similar to a human protein called granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Filgrastim works by encouraging the bone marrow to produce more white blood cells, increasing white blood cell counts and so treating neutropenia. Filgrastim has been available in other medicines in the European Union (EU) for a number of years. In Pelmeg, filgrastim has been ‘pegylated’ (attached to a chemical called polyethylene glycol). This slows down the removal of filgrastim from the body, allowing the medicine to be given less often.
