Mechanism of Action: How Nufil Injection Supports the Immune SystemNufil Injection contains filgrastim, a recombinant protein that stimulates bone marrow to produce more neutrophils. Increased neutrophil counts help lower infection risk, especially during chemotherapy or after bone marrow transplant. Unlike enzymes, filgrastim is a growth factor that specifically targets neutrophil production, strengthening the body's immune defenses in medically vulnerable patients.
Proper Storage and Handling GuidelinesTo ensure effectiveness, Nufil Injection must be kept refrigerated at 2C to 8C. Do not freeze or expose the syringe to light. Always keep the product in its original carton until use. Proper storage is crucial to maintain the stability of the filgrastim protein and guarantee optimal results during therapy.
