How does this medicine work?

Melphalan is an alkylating agent that damages the genetic material (DNA) of rapidly dividing cells, preventing them from multiplying and causing cell death. It works primarily on cancer cells that divide more rapidly than normal cells.

Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Some medicines may increase side effects or affect how melphalan works. Certain infection-treating medicines may require careful monitoring.

Interactions with food items

Take on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. Avoid taking with food or milk unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
