ARDS. Spleen size should be carefully monitored and caution exercised when administering in patients with sickle cell disease. Safety and efficacy of Neulasta for mobilisation of blood progenitor cells in patients or healthy donors has not been adequately evaluated.

Other adverse events of special importance associated with Neulasta include bone pain, allergic-type reactions including anaphylaxis (pegfilgrastim should be permanently discontinued in patients who experience a serious allergic reaction) and very rare cases of splenic rupture including fatal cases. Neulasta should be administered approximately 24 hours after administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy.

About AranespAranesp was approved by the FDA in 2001 for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure (CRF) for patients on dialysis and patients not on dialysis.
