Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leukine (sargramostim) is a medication that stimulates the production of white blood cells. Therefore, an increase in the patient's white blood cell count would indicate a successful response to the medication. Platelet count and hair loss are not directly affected by Leukine, and nausea or vomiting are not typically associated with this medication.
