Medicinal Benefits:

Adfill Injection contains 'Pegfilgrastim,' which is a growth factor. It belongs to the cytokine family of proteins and is extremely similar to a natural protein (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) produced by the body. Adfill Injection acts by encouraging the bone marrow to generate more white blood cells, aiding infection resistance.
