Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Splenic Rupture: Evaluate patients who report left upper abdominal or shoulder pain for an enlarged spleen or splenic rupture ( 5.1 ) Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): Monitor for and manage immediately. Discontinue GRANIX if suspected ( 5.2 ) Serious Allergic Reactions Including Anaphylaxis: Permanently discontinue GRANIX in patients with serious allergic reactions ( 5.3 ) Sickle Cell Disorders: Severe and sometimes fatal crisis can occur. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS GRANIX is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious allergic reactions to filgrastim products or pegfilgrastim products [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. Patients with a history of serious allergic reactions to filgrastim products or pegfilgrastim products. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited published data on filgrastim product use during pregnancy are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of tbo-filgrastim to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis resulted in increased spontaneous abortion and fetal malformations at systemic exposures 50 to 90 times the human exposure expected at the recommended human dose (see Data) . GRANIX should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Storage
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING GRANIX solution for injection is supplied as a single-dose, preservative-free clear solution, in either a vial or, a prefilled syringe made from Type I glass which has a permanently attached stainless steel needle. The active substance is tbo-filgrastim.
