Religrast 300mcg Injection 0.5 ml belongs to the class of medicine called 'hematopoietic agent' used to treat neutropenia, a lack of certain white blood cells caused by cancer, bone marrow transplant, receiving chemotherapy, bacterial infections or other conditions.

Neutropenia is a condition in which the number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood is decreased. White blood cells (neutrophils) protect the body from infections. Without enough neutrophils, the body can not fight off bacteria which increases the risk of many types of infections. It can be caused by diseases that damage the bone marrow like cancer chemotherapy, HIV or AIDS, infections or deficiencies in vitamins or minerals, such as vitamin B12, folate, or copper, and autoimmune diseases, including Crohn's disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Severe chronic neutropenias arise from the failure of the bone marrow to produce adequate numbers of neutrophils that circulate in the blood. It appears that patients with severe chronic neutropenias are at greater risk of developing leukaemia (blood cancer) than are other people.
