"I'm currently halfway through chemotherapy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. My chemo drugs are gemcitabine and carboplatin. 24 hours after chemo, I'm given Udenyca to increase my WBC count. I take Claritin once a day beginning that first day of the Udenyca injection. My pain level is near nonexistent, but I am totally wiped out and exhausted. So tired I can hardly get up for three to four days. I'm debating telling the doctor to forget it after my next chemo. It's debilitating! But I'm glad I'm not experiencing pain."

"Please don’t take this drug. It made me feel like a walking dead for days. I was aching, it was very uncomfortable sitting, lying down, and walking."

"I have been receiving biosimilar for 2 1/2 years. This is the first time receiving Udenyca, and it feels like a mad truck hit me. The side effects have had me in bed for 5 days. I want Neulasta back."

"A week after having an injection of Udenyca, I have ended up having a full cardiac workup in the emergency room. Severe chest pains, radiating to the back. Awful discomfort. My heart was not the problem. My oncologist took me off the Udenyca shot as he said that these pains were a side effect of it. Please know your body. Look for new conditions happening. Call your doctor or go to the ER like I did."
