Thalidomide: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Thalidomide is primarily used to treat multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, especially in newly diagnosed patients who cannot undergo stem cell transplant. It is also used for certain skin conditions linked to leprosy (erythema nodosum leprosum). Thalidomide works by slowing the growth of cancer cells, reducing inflammation, and modulating the immune system. In multiple myeloma, it is usually combined with other medications like dexamethasone for better results.

Dosage:                               

Thalidomide is mainly used to treat multiple myeloma and certain inflammatory or skin conditions. The usual starting dose for multiple myeloma is 100 to 200 mg once daily, taken at bedtime to reduce side effects like drowsiness. The dose may be adjusted based on how well the patient tolerates it and whether it is combined with other medications like dexamethasone. It should be taken on an empty stomach, and swallowed whole with water.
