Suggest Medication To Boost White Blood Cell Count
I had a physical the other day, and my dr office called me to say my white blood count was slightly low (1.8 as opposed to the normal 2.0). She would like to another blood test in 3months. What can I do to boost my white blood cells without medication. My other results were normal.

Hello,
CSFs help your body make more white blood cells. This lowers your risk for febrile neutropenia. CSFs include Neupogen (filgrastim), Neulasta (pegfilgrastim), and Leukine and Prokine (sargramostim).
They are usually given as shots 24 hours after a chemotherapy treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
