• Any past or concurrent medical conditions that potentially increase the subject's risks or affect the evaluation of any study results. Examples of these include medical history with evidence of clinically relevant pathology (e.g. sickle cell disorders, spleen pathologies, hematologic malignancies or myelodysplastic disorders, and pulmonary illnesses such as ARDS, interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary edema, pulmonary infiltrates and pulmonary fibrosis) and history of relevant drug and/or food allergies.
• Known history of previous exposure to filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) or any analogue of these.

• Any infection, cough or fever within 1 week prior to first study drug administration.
• Fructose intolerance.
• First degree relatives with hematological malignancy.

• Participation in a drug study within 60 days prior to study drug administration.
• Donation or loss of more than 500 mL of blood over a period of 60 days prior to study drug administration. Donation of more than 1.5 L of blood (for men) / more than 1.0 L of blood (for women) in the 10 months preceding the start of this study.
• History of alcohol abuse or drug addiction
