Colstim 300Mcg Injection Health Feed

Asked for male, 84 years old from Guwahati

My father is undergoing chemotherapy, he has been advised grafeel injection, should this be given when the tlc goes below 2000 or can this be given even when tlc is at normal level (about 5000)

Depends on the type of chemotherapy he is receiving
sometimes its needed even with normal tlc as prophylaxis.

You need to improve her nutrition either through nasogastric (ng) tube or parenterally as appropriate. Simultaneously, its important that her immunity be improved too.
