Udenyca is a prescription medication used to prevent infections in patients receiving anti-cancer drugs that can cause low levels of white blood cells.

Udenyca belongs to a group of drugs called colony stimulating factors. These work by binding to hematopoietic cell (cells that give rise to other blood cells) resulting in increase in their survival, number, and function. This process will overall result in increase in the number of white blood cells in the body.

This medication comes in a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection form and is taken once per chemotherapy cycle.

Common side effects of Udencya include bone pain and pain in the extremities.
