ALKERAN TM TABLETS Melphalan QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each tablet contains 2 mg melphalan. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Film-coated tablets. CLINICAL PARTICULARS INDICATIONS _ALKERAN _tablets are indicated in the treatment of: • multiple myeloma; • advanced ovarian adenocarcinoma; _ALKERAN_ tablets may be used in the treatment of: • breast carcinoma: _ALKERAN _either alone or in combination with other drugs has a significant therapeutic effect in a proportion of patients suffering from advanced breast carcinoma; • polycythaemia rubra vera: _ALKERAN _is effective in the treatment of a proportion of patients suffering from polycythaemia vera. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION GENERAL _ALKERAN_ is a cytotoxic drug which falls into the general class of alkylating agents. It should be prescribed only by physicians experienced in the management of malignant disease with such agents. Since _ALKERAN _is myelosuppressive, frequent blood counts are essential during therapy and the dosage should be delayed or adjusted if necessary (_see Warnings _ _and Precautions_). The absorption of _ALKERAN _after oral administration is variable. Dosage may need to be cautiously increased until myelosuppression is seen, in order to ensure that potentially therapeutic levels have been reached. MULTIPLE MYELOMA A typical oral dosage schedule is 0.15 mg/kg bodyweight/day in divided doses for 4 days repeated at intervals of 6 weeks. Numerous regimens have, however, been used and the scientific literature should be consulted for details. The administration of oral _ALKERAN _and prednisone may be more effective than _ALKERAN _alone. The combination is usually given on an intermittent basis. Prolonging treatment beyond one year in responders does not appear to improve results. ADVANCED OVARIAN ADENOCARCINOMA A typical regimen is 0.2 mg/kg bodyweight/day orally for 5 days. This is repeated every 4 to 8 weeks, or as soon as the peripheral blood count has recovered. 전체 문서 읽기
