About Myelostem 5 Tablet

Cancer is a genetic change in which the body's cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues.
Myelostem 5 Tablet contains Melphalan, which reduces the number of abnormal cells your body makes. Thus, it treats cancer efficiently.
Use Myelostem 5 Tablet as directed by your doctor. It may cause common side effects, such as a drop in the number of blood cells and platelets, feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting), diarrhoea, mouth ulcers, hair loss and high levels of urea in your blood (in people with kidney problems who are being treated for myeloma). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Cancer: Cancer is a genetic change in which the body's cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are two types of cancer: benign (localized) and metastatic (spread to the whole body). Types of cancer include blood, lung, breast, etc. Cancer growth can be prevented by chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy.
Multiple myeloma: Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer affecting white blood cells called plasma cells. These cells collect in the bone marrow and divide uncontrollably, leading to kidney and bone damage. Symptoms include bone pain, loss of appetite, fever, and frequent infections. Generally, multiple myeloma cannot be cured, but the signs and symptoms can be reduced greatly or disappear after a period of time.
Ovarian cancer: Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries (one of a pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed).
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and can travel to lymph nodes, a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other parts of the body.
