Regramostime
Regramostime Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Regramostime (GM-CSF) is a differentially glycosylated factor produced mainly by activated T cells and macrophages. Endothelial cells and fibroblasts can also produce GM-CSF after exposure to TNF-α, IL-1, IL-2 and IFN-γ. GM-CSF is found associated with extracellular matrix and in membrane-bound formats too. GM-CSF stimulates proliferation, activation and differentiation of macrophages and granulocytes and their progenitors.

How Regramostime works
This drug activates mononuclear phagocytes, promotes migration of epithelial cells, and further regulates cytokine production. In 2 recent placebo-controlled studies involving venous leg ulceration, subcutaneous perilesional injections of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor were found to be significantly better than placebo in the time to complete wound healing. In other studies, recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor was administered topically to wounds. Several case reports have also demonstrated the use of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor for postsurgical wounds, chronic leg ulcers of sickle cell anemia patients, and refract and refractory pyoderma gangrenosum.
