Adthal 100 Capsule 10 contains thalidomide (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Immune System Modulation: Thalidomide regulates the immune system response by affecting certain cells and proteins involved in inflammation and immune reactions.

• Tumour Cell Attack: It directly targets and damages cancer cells, particularly in multiple myeloma, helping to slow or stop their growth.

• Anti-angiogenesis: Thalidomide prevents the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that tumours need to grow, effectively cutting off their blood supply.

• Immune Stimulation: It enhances the activity of specific immune cells called T-cells and natural killer cells, which helps your body fight against cancer cells more effectively.

• Store Adthal 100 Capsule 10 at temperatures below 25°C.

• Keep away from direct light and moisture.

• Keep the capsules in their original packaging until you need to take them.

• Do not store in bathrooms where humidity levels are high.

• Keep the medication out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• If you have multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer affecting plasma cells), try to include plenty of protein-rich foods like lentils, yoghurt, and lean meats to help maintain muscle strength during your treatment.

• For patients with lepra reactions (inflammatory complications of leprosy), avoid spicy and hot foods that might worsen skin inflammation and discomfort.
