What is Cosela?

Cosela is used to help prevent bone marrow suppression in people receiving chemotherapy with certain medicines to treat small cell lung cancer.

Cosela may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

How should I use Cosela

Cosela is given as an infusion into a vein, usually within 4 hours before the start of your chemotherapy infusion. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.
