Nyvepria - (pronounced) (ny-VEP-ree-ah) A medicine that is a form of filgrastim and is used to prevent infections in adults and children with neutropenia (a lower than normal white blood cell count) caused by some types of chemotherapy. Nyvepria helps the bone marrow produce more white blood cells and can stay in the body longer than filgrastim, so it does not need to be given as often. It's a kind of colony stimulating factor. Also called Filgrastim-SD/01, Fulphila, Neulasta, Pegfilgrastim, Udenyca and Ziextenzo
