Have Claritin capsules on hand to use
How long do the joint and bone pain symptoms start after receiving Neulasta, and how long does it tend to last?
Thanks,
Judy

It’s really difficult to predict the onset of the bone pain. I had Neulasta several times. The first time the pain started around day 7. I had actually stopped taking the Claritin thinking I was past the point where it would hurt. Nope!! LOL.
Subsequent shots were good because I kept taking the Claritin. Except for my last session. I had to double up on the capsule taking 2 in one day because it was intense. So, it’s good to just start taking it within a day of the injection and stay on for 8 days. If he backs off and the pain returns, just pop another capsule.
