CompositionPomalid 4 Capsule is a medicine used in the treatment of multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is also used to treat Kaposi's sarcoma, a cancer causing skin and mucous membrane lesions in patients with or without HIV infection.
It contains pomalidomide, an immunomodulatory agent that works by assisting the immune system to slow cancer cell growth and target abnormal plasma cells. Take the capsule whole with water as prescribed, at the same time each day. It is often prescribed in combination with other medicines like dexamethasone as part of a structured treatment cycle.
Maintaining proper nutrition, drinking adequate fluids, and taking steps to protect your skin from sun exposure are important during treatment. Avoid sunlamps and wear protective clothing or sunscreen when outdoors due to increased skin sensitivity to light.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, a history of blood clots, or heart conditions. Regular blood test monitoring is required because this medicine can reduce white and red blood cell counts. Pomalid 4 Capsule causes severe birth defects and must never be taken during pregnancy. Strict pregnancy prevention measures are mandatory for both men and women during treatment.
