My doc is adding Neupogen to my Interferon. Didn't really tell me when to take it, just that it is taken the same way. I guess when I get it I can call the 800 #, but can anyone give me a heads up on when it's best to take it? I haven't rcvd the Neop yet so haven't a clue as to how often, etc. yet. tx

If your doctor didnt when to take it my friend ya better put your foot in his/her asses. I had to do those neupogen injetions up to 3 times aweek this year alone. Your WBC's must be way down for this TX. So it depends on your doc to say when to do it my freind. It does help bring up your WBC's Hope this helps.

Im on neupagin, its for your white count. If your white cell count gets to low you cant fight infections and can get pneumonia. Take a pain reliever before that shot it makes you xxx achy!!! Drink alot of water as well. Good luck
