Medical Description

Livamide capsule is a specialist medicine used for multiple myeloma and lepra reactions, inflammatory episodes linked with leprosy. It contains thalidomide, an immune-modulating medicine that changes signals involved in inflammation and abnormal plasma-cell growth. It can also reduce the formation of new blood vessels that support abnormal cells. Livamide capsule is taken by mouth under a strict pregnancy-prevention and blood-safety programme, and it must not be used during pregnancy because it can cause severe harm to an unborn baby.

Uses

  • Multiple myeloma: Abnormal plasma cells build up in the bone marrow and can affect blood production; thalidomide is used in specialist treatment for this condition.
  • Lepra reactions: Leprosy can trigger painful inflammatory reactions that worsen nerve injury; thalidomide may help control these reactions under specialist care.

How does this medicine work?

Thalidomide changes immune activity and reduces some inflammatory signals. It can slow the growth of abnormal cells involved in multiple myeloma and reduce the formation of blood vessels that support them. These effects require close medical monitoring.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Livamide capsule works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, mention oral contraceptive medicines, blood thinners, anti-allergy medicines, medicines for brain-related conditions, other medicines used in multiple myeloma and digoxin. Medicines that cause sleepiness may worsen drowsiness, while blood-thinning treatment needs review because thalidomide can increase clot risk.

Interactions with food items

No specific food interaction is known. Take Livamide capsule on an empty stomach as advised.
