Product Introduction
Melphalan 50mg is an injectable alkylating chemotherapy used in multiple myeloma and selected other cancer regimens. High-dose treatment may form part of preparation for an autologous stem-cell transplant.
How to use
The freshly prepared medicine is given by intravenous infusion using the regimen-specific dose and timing. The solution is used promptly because its stability after preparation is limited.
How it works
Melphalan forms cross-links between DNA strands, preventing replication and causing death of susceptible tumour cells.
Side effects
Low blood counts, mouth and gut inflammation, nausea, diarrhoea and hair loss can occur. Severe infection and organ toxicity are important risks, especially with high doses.
Important information
Kidney function, blood counts and the transplant plan affect treatment. Marrow suppression can be prolonged and may require transfusion and infection support.
Uses
- Multiple-myeloma regimens and selected transplant-conditioning or other cancer protocols.
Benefits
Can substantially reduce myeloma-cell burden, including before stem-cell rescue in suitable patients.
Why are stem cells sometimes collected before high-dose melphalan?
The collected cells can restore blood-cell production after the high-dose treatment suppresses the marrow.
Is the injectable dose interchangeable with tablets?
No. Oral and intravenous regimens have different exposure and treatment contexts.
Why can mouth care be particularly important?
Inflammation and ulceration can interfere with eating and increase infection risk during low blood counts.
Why is the prepared infusion not stored for later use?
Melphalan loses stability after reconstitution and dilution, so preparation and administration are closely coordinated.
