ALKACEL 5MG TABLET belongs to a class of cytotoxic drugs, also known as chemotherapeutic agents, primarily used to treat various cancer conditions such as Multiple myeloma, Polycythaemia vera, advanced cancer of the ovaries and advanced breast cancer. Cancer is a genetic change in which the body's cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. ALKACEL 5MG TABLET contains Melphalan, which reduces the number of abnormal cells your body makes. Thus, it treats cancer efficiently. Use ALKACEL 5MG TABLET as directed by your doctor. It may cause common side effects, such as a drop in the number of blood cells and platelets, feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting), diarrhoea, mouth ulcers, hair loss and high levels of urea in your blood (in people with kidney problems who are being treated for myeloma). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
