If you are getting Neupogen (pegfilgrasim, xarxio, Neulasta) to bring up your white blood cell counts, Claritin is recommended daily the day after chemo and 6 additional days. Your bone marrow working hard can cause bone pain in some people. The anti histamine in Claritin can help release histamines causing pain. I fortunately had no bone pain.

My oncologist still has me take it daily for joint pain and I finished chemo 12/31/24, I thought it was the monthly zoladex causing the bone/joint pain but idk.
I will say, if I skip a dose or 2 my joints feel it so it must be working somewhat.
