Description
Melphalan Tablets BP 2 mg is a chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, including multiple myeloma and ovarian cancer. It is an alkylating agent that works by interfering with the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from replicating and ultimately causing cell death. Melphalan is also sometimes used as part of conditioning regimens before stem cell transplants in patients with certain hematologic cancers.
The 2 mg dosage is typically taken orally, either alone or as part of a combination therapy, depending on the specific cancer and treatment plan. Common side effects of Melphalan include nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, hair loss, and low blood cell counts, which may increase the risk of infections and bleeding. Regular monitoring, including blood tests, is necessary to track the effectiveness of the treatment and manage any side effects.
