About Lomoother 40 Capsule
Lomoother 40 Capsule is an anti-cancer medicine used in the treatment of brain tumors. A tumor is defined as the formation of solid mass tissue due to the abnormal growth of cells. Lomoother 40 Capsule is used in the treatment of primary and metastatic brain tumors along with appropriate surgical or radiotherapeutic procedures. A brain tumor is a serious condition where the cells (cancerous or non-cancerous) grow abnormally in the brain. Lomoother 40 Capsule is also used in the treatment of Hodgkin’s Disease when used in combination with other chemotherapies.
Lomoother 40 Capsule contains Lomustine, which belongs to the alkylating agents class. It works by inhibiting the DNA and RNA transcription that is essential for protein synthesis. This causes shrinkage of tumor cells and thereby prevents the growth and further spread of cancerous or non-cancerous cells.
Lomoother 40 Capsule may cause certain side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, headache, visual disturbances, blindness, disorientation, lack of energy, loss of control, and difficulty talking. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. Lomoother 40 Capsule should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more than the recommended dose of medicine.
Lomoother 40 Capsule should be avoided if you are allergic to it or any other components present in it. Lomoother 40 Capsule may cause pulmonary toxicity, delayed myelosuppression, pulmonary fibrosis, nephrotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity in some patients. Hence, careful monitoring should be done during the entire treatment. This medicine is known to cause embryo-fetal harm in pregnant women. Hence, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant. It is unknown whether Lomoother 40 Capsule is suitable for children's use. Hence, please consult your doctor or paediatrician for information on children's use. Breastfeeding should be discontinued in nursing mothers during the treatment. Lomoother 40 Capsule should only be taken once in 6 weeks as taking more than the recommended dose can cause serious life-threatening problems. Hence, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting the treatment.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Brain Tumors: A tumor is defined as the formation of solid mass tissue due to the abnormal growth of cells. A brain tumor is a serious condition where the cells (cancerous or non-cancerous) grow abnormally in the brain. There are different types of brain tumors which can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Lomoother 40 Capsule is used in the treatment of primary (a tumor that starts in any part of the brain) and metastatic (cancer cells which spread to other organs of the body) brain tumors.
Hodgkin’s Disease: Hodgkin’s disease or lymphoma is a blood cancer of a certain type of cells called WBCs, specifically lymphocytes. Lymphocytes normally help control infection and maintain the body's normal immunity.
