WHAT FARYDAK IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT FARYDAK IS
Farydak is an anti-cancer medicine that contains the active substance
panobinostat, which belongs to a
group of medicines called pan-deacetylase inhibitors.
WHAT FARYDAK IS USED FOR
Farydak is used to treat adult patients with a rare type of blood
cancer called multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma is a disorder of plasma cells (a type of blood cell)
that grow out of control in the
bone marrow.
Farydak blocks the growth of cancerous plasma cells and reduces the
number of cancer cells.
Farydak is always used together with two other medicines: bortezomib
and dexamethasone.
If you have any questions about how Farydak works or why you have been
given it, ask your doctor or
pharmacist.
