Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

1. What is Plerixafor Zentiva and what is it used for

Plerixafor Zentiva contains the active substance plerixafor, which blocks a protein on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells. This protein "binds" hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Plerixafor facilitates the release (mobilization) of hematopoietic stem cells into the bloodstream. Hematopoietic stem cells are collected using a device that separates different blood components (apheresis device), and then frozen and stored until transplantation.

Plerixafor Zentiva is used in cases of insufficient mobilization, to facilitate the collection of hematopoietic stem cells (for their collection, storage, and transplantation).

  • In adult patients with lymphoma (a cancer of white blood cells) or multiple myeloma (a cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow).
  • In children from 1 year to less than 18 years of age with lymphoma or solid tumors.

2. Important information before using Plerixafor Zentiva

When not to use Plerixafor Zentiva

  • If the patient is allergic to plerixafor or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Plerixafor Zentiva, discuss it with your doctor.

Tell your doctor if:

  • The patient has a history of heart disease.
  • The patient has kidney disease; the doctor may then change the dose.
  • The patient has a high white blood cell count.
  • The patient has a low platelet count.
  • The patient has a history of fainting or dizziness when standing or sitting, and before or during injections.

The doctor may order regular blood teststo monitor the patient's blood morphology. It is not recommended to use Plerixafor Zentiva for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells in patients with leukemia (a cancer of the blood or bone marrow).

Plerixafor Zentiva and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnant women should not use Plerixafor Zentiva, as there is limited experience with the use of this medicine during pregnancy. If the patient is pregnant, thinks she may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, she should consult her doctor before using this medicine. Women of childbearing age should use contraception.

While using Plerixafor Zentiva, do not breastfeed, as it is not known whether Plerixafor Zentiva passes into human milk.

Driving and using machines

Plerixafor Zentiva may cause dizziness and fatigue, so if the patient feels dizzy, tired, or unwell, they should not drive.

Plerixafor Zentiva contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per dose, which means it is essentially "sodium-free".

Medicine questions

Started taking the medicine and have questions?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

3. How to use Plerixafor Zentiva

The medicine will be administered by injection by a doctor or nurse.

First, G-CSF will be administered, followed by Plerixafor Zentiva

The stem cell mobilization procedure starts with the administration of another medicine called G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor). G-CSF facilitates the action of Plerixafor Zentiva. If additional information about G-CSF is needed, consult your doctor and read the relevant patient leaflet.

What is the dose of Plerixafor Zentiva?

The recommended dose for adults is either 20 mg (fixed dose) or 0.24 mg per kilogram of body weight per day.

The recommended dose for children from 1 year to less than 18 years of age is 0.24 mg per kilogram of body weight per day.

The dose of the medicine is determined based on the patient's body weight, which should be measured in the week preceding the administration of the first dose. If the patient has moderate kidney impairment, the doctor will reduce the dose.

How is Plerixafor Zentiva administered?

Plerixafor Zentiva is administered by subcutaneous injection (under the skin).

When is Plerixafor Zentiva administered for the first time?

The first dose of the medicine is administered within 6-11 hours before the start of apheresis (collection of hematopoietic stem cells).

How long will Plerixafor Zentiva be administered?

The medicine will be administered for 2 to 4 consecutive days (sometimes up to 7 days), until a sufficient number of stem cells are collected for transplantation. In rare cases, the collection of hematopoietic stem cells is not successful, and the procedure must be terminated.

4. Possible side effects
