Nypozi® Prefilled Syringe for Neutropenia

Nypozi® is a long-acting white blood cell growth factor used after chemotherapy. It helps shorten the time your counts stay low and may reduce fever-related complications. This page explains how the treatment works, who it is for, and how you can manage storage and travel needs, with US shipping from Canada for your order and support for purchases without insurance.

What Nypozi Is and How It Works

This medicine is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G‑CSF). It tells your bone marrow to make more neutrophils, which are key infection-fighting cells. Clinicians use it in adults receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy for non-myeloid cancers to reduce the duration of severe neutropenia. Border Free Health connects U.S. patients with licensed Canadian partner pharmacies; prescriptions are verified with prescribers before dispensing.

As a long-acting G‑CSF, the treatment is given once per chemotherapy cycle. It is designed to circulate in your body longer than short-acting filgrastim, so a single post-chemo injection is usually enough for each cycle. You can use our Nypozi prefilled syringe online pharmacy page to review details, compare options, and submit your prescription.

Who It’s For

This therapy is for adults with non-myeloid malignancies who are receiving chemotherapy known to cause significant neutropenia or febrile neutropenia. It is not a cancer treatment; it supports your blood counts during care. People with myeloid cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia generally should not receive this class unless a prescriber specifically decides otherwise.

Tell your healthcare professional if you have a history of splenic problems, sickle cell disease, kidney issues, or previous serious allergic reactions to G‑CSF products. Discuss pregnancy, plans to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Your care team will balance benefits and risks for your situation.

Dosage and Usage

This medicine is given as a subcutaneous injection once per chemotherapy cycle. Your clinician will choose the timing and schedule. Typically, the dose is administered about a day after your cytotoxic chemotherapy. Do not use it within the 24 hours before chemotherapy or earlier than directed. The Nypozi injection prefilled syringe is single-use; do not reuse any syringe or needle.

General administration guidance includes: allow the syringe to reach room temperature as directed on the label, do not shake, and inspect the solution for particles or discoloration. If the solution looks unusual or the syringe is damaged, do not use it. Injections are usually given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, with site rotation to reduce skin irritation. Your care team may administer it in the clinic or may train you or a caregiver if home use is appropriate.

Always follow the official prescribing information and your prescriber’s instructions for dose selection, timing, and monitoring. Your clinic may order periodic blood tests to track your response and adjust your care plan.

Strengths and Forms

This product is supplied as a single-use prefilled syringe for subcutaneous injection. It contains a fixed dose intended for one injection per cycle. Some presentations include a safety needle guard to help prevent needlestick injuries. Availability and packaging can vary by country and manufacturer lot. Your exact presentation will appear on the pharmacy label included with shipment.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss the planned injection time, contact your prescriber or clinic for advice. Timing around chemotherapy matters. Do not give yourself a replacement dose without guidance. In most cases, your care team will choose a new time and monitor blood counts at the next visit. If you receive chemotherapy on an adjusted schedule, the support injection may also be adjusted accordingly.

Storage and Travel Basics

Keep syringes in the refrigerator in the original carton to protect from light. Do not freeze. Do not shake. If a syringe accidentally freezes, do not use it. Many G‑CSF products allow limited time at room temperature; check the patient leaflet that arrives with your order for the specific allowance, and mark the date when taken out of the fridge. Always keep medicines out of reach of children and pets.

For travel, use an insulated bag with cool packs so the medicine stays within the recommended range. Do not place syringes directly on ice or a frozen pack. Carry documentation: your prescription label, a copy of the medication guide if available, and your clinic’s contact information. When flying, keep the medicine in your carry-on. Security staff are familiar with injectable prescriptions; allow extra time to present documentation. Our pharmacy partners use temperature-controlled handling when required to help maintain product integrity during transit.

Pen Handling and Sharps Disposal

This therapy arrives in a syringe, not a pen. Review the step-by-step instructions in the patient leaflet before use. Wash your hands. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab and allow to dry. Pinch the skin as instructed, insert the needle at the recommended angle, and inject the full contents. After injection, activate any needle guard if present.

Dispose of the used syringe in a puncture-resistant FDA-cleared sharps container. If you don’t have one, use a heavy-duty plastic household container with a tight, puncture-resistant lid. Do not throw used sharps in household trash or recycling. Follow your local rules or ask your clinic for disposal guidance.

Benefits

This class of medicine helps reduce the duration of severe neutropenia following chemotherapy. By supporting neutrophil production, it can lower the chance of febrile neutropenia and related interruptions to treatment plans. A single injection per cycle is convenient compared with daily short-acting options. Many patients appreciate having a consistent routine tied to each chemotherapy cycle rather than multiple clinic visits.

Reducing unplanned febrile episodes may help limit hospital time and additional tests. Your prescriber will decide whether this approach makes sense for your regimen and risk profile.

Side Effects and Safety

• Bone or muscle pain
• Headache or fatigue
• Nausea
• Injection-site redness or swelling
• Back pain
• Joint discomfort

Serious but less common risks include splenic rupture, acute respiratory distress syndrome, severe allergic reactions, capillary leak syndrome, aortitis, glomerulonephritis, and sickle cell crises. Seek urgent care for symptoms such as severe left upper abdominal or shoulder-tip pain, trouble breathing, facial or throat swelling, or sudden dizziness. When used with chemotherapy, your clinician will monitor blood counts. If you also use insulin or sulfonylureas for diabetes, review hypoglycemia precautions with your prescriber, even though this medicine is not a glucose-lowering drug.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your clinician about all medicines and supplements you use. Lithium may affect neutrophil production, so your team may take that into account. Follow the timing rules around cytotoxic chemotherapy; do not take this injection within the window your prescriber advises against. Avoid switching between different growth factors unless your clinician directs the change.

Use caution if you have a history of spleen problems or sickle cell disease. Report new or worsening kidney issues, persistent protein in urine, or unusual skin changes. Discuss vaccination plans with your care team, especially during periods of low counts.

What to Expect Over Time

Your team will monitor your white blood cell counts during each cycle. Many people notice mild bone or muscle aches after the injection. These often respond to supportive measures recommended by your clinician. Keep your schedule consistent across cycles and plan ahead for the injection date following chemotherapy. If you receive care at an infusion center, ask whether the staff will administer it or whether home use is appropriate for you.

Staying on the agreed plan helps your prescriber evaluate how well the therapy protects against severe neutropenia. Keep a symptom diary and bring your questions to each visit.

Compare With Alternatives

Alternatives in this category include long-acting pegfilgrastim products such as Neulasta Prefilled Syringe and daily short-acting filgrastim administered over several days per cycle. Your oncology team will consider your chemotherapy regimen, febrile neutropenia risk, clinic workflows, and personal preferences when selecting a supportive option.

Pricing and Access

We list the Nypozi prefilled syringe price transparently so you can compare options. Canadian pharmacy pricing with US delivery from Canada can help some patients manage out-of-pocket costs.

We also publish educational resources to help you discuss coverage with your care team and to plan for each cycle’s supportive medicines.

Availability and Substitutions

Supply can vary. If your pharmacy cannot fulfill the order, your prescriber may recommend a suitable alternative within the same therapeutic class. Ask whether a pegfilgrastim product or a daily filgrastim regimen is appropriate if it becomes necessary. There is no approved generic Nypozi prefilled syringe in many markets; availability depends on local regulations and manufacturer distribution.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This therapy may fit adults at higher risk of febrile neutropenia based on chemotherapy type, intensity, and personal risk factors. It may not be appropriate for patients with myeloid malignancies unless a specialist advises otherwise. People with significant allergic histories to G‑CSFs or certain excipients may need a different plan.

To save, consider ordering enough for multiple cycles if your prescriber confirms the same regimen will continue and stability allows. Set calendar reminders for the post-chemo injection window. Keep your prescription and clinic contact information handy when traveling for care. Review our Neutropenia hub for context on supportive options, and read about supportive anemia care like the Aranesp Prefilled Syringe if your care team is managing multiple blood count needs.
