leukine injections

Just started leukine injections yesterday. WBC only down to 1.7, neutrophils 0.8. Second week into tx. This my second round with tx was pulled off last time because of alleged allergic reaction.
Question-- can anyone tell me if they had any luck with this drug?

Hep C. Hematologist said it should help WBC. But I have learned they don't tell you everything.

I think that leutine is another name for Neupogen.

Sorry about the spelling of your name.  I'm on a conference call and I was distrated.  Work certainly gets in the way of hcv.

I take Nupogen for WBC. My dr. told me it was important to take blood tests every two weeks. I am confident that I am receiving good advice from my provider.

leukine and neupogen are similar in many ways but they are not the same formulation
