Detailed Information

Introduction

Alkat 2mg Tablet is a prescription anticancer medication containing melphalan, an alkylating agent used to treat serious blood and solid cancers. This medicine works by targeting and slowing the growth of abnormal cancer cells in your body. Alkat is primarily prescribed for multiple myeloma, a type of bone marrow cancer, as well as advanced breast cancer, advanced ovarian cancer, and polycythemia vera—a condition where your body produces too many red blood cells, causing blood thickening and clot formation.

This is a potent chemotherapy medication that requires careful monitoring and should only be taken as prescribed by your oncologist or hematologist. Before starting Alkat 2mg Tablet, inform your doctor about any recent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, kidney problems, or recent vaccinations. Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
