Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 G-CSF is aka Neupogen. It is Granulocyte colony stimulating factor. It stimulates the bone marrow to produce more neutrophils. That's the lay version. You can go to www.shwachmandiamondamerica.org <http://www.shwachmandiamondamerica.org/> and we have medical articles on Neupogen and we also have Neupogen/G-CSF under the neutropenia forum on our message board. In certain diseases, like SDS, there are risks in using Neupogen. See website for more info. ~Pattie~ " What matters is not great deeds, but great love.
