1. What is Plerixafor Tillomed and what is it used for
Plerixafor Tillomed contains the active substance plerixafor, which blocks a protein on the surface of
blood stem cells. This protein “binds” blood stem cells to the bone marrow.
Plerixafor improves the release of stem cells into the bloodstream (mobilization). The stem cells can then be
collected by a machine that separates the components of the blood
(apheresis machine) to be frozen and stored until transplantation.
If mobilization is poor, plerixafor is used to promote the collection of stem cells in the
blood from the patient, for collection, storage and reintroduction (transplantation)
- in adults with lymphoma (a cancer of white blood cells) or multiple myeloma (a cancer that attacks plasma cells in the bone marrow).
- in children aged between 1 and less than 18 years with lymphoma or solid tumors.
2. What you need to know before using Plerixafor Tillomed
Do not use Plerixafor Tillomed:
if you are allergic to plerixafor or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in
