NEUPOGENÂ® (nu-po-jen) (filgrastim) Injection. What is NEUPOGEN? NEUPOGEN is a man-made form of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), which is made using the bacteria Escherichia coli. G-CSF is a substance produced by the body. It stimulates the growth of neutrophils (nu-tro-fils), a type of white blood cell important in the body's fight against infection. Who should not take NEUPOGEN?
Neupogen isn't approved to treat the condition, called afebrile neutropenia, although doctors commonly prescribe it to stimulate production of white-blood cells in patients with low counts in the hope that it will ward off infections.
