Pomalid 1mg Capsule

Pomalid 1mg Capsule

Pomalid 1mg Capsule is used in conjunction with other medications to treat multiple myeloma (dexamethasone). It functions by destroying abnormal cells and enabling the bone marrow in producing healthy blood cells.

To maximise its effects, take your daily Pomalid 1mg Capsule at the same time each day, with or without food. Your doctor should determine the appropriate dosage and how often you should take it. This will vary from treatment to treatment and may change over time. You should strictly follow your doctor’s instructions. Extremely harmful effects can occur if it is taken incorrectly or in excessive quantities. If your doctor has told you to continue taking the medication, do so even if you haven’t yet noticed any improvement; it may take several weeks or months before you feel any positive effects.

This medication’s most common negative effects are lethargy, fever, bone pain, muscular cramps, and diarrhoea. This drug has the possibility of decreasing blood cell counts (both red blood cells and white blood cells), making you more susceptible to infections. Your red blood cell count, white blood cell count, heart and liver function, and uric acid levels should all be monitored with routine blood testing.

Make sure your healthcare providers know about any other medications you are taking, since they may be affected by this one or vice versa. Pregnancy and nursing are two situations in which this medication should not be used. Avoiding conception during therapy necessitates the use of highly effective contraception by both males and females. You should exercise caution while going outside or wear protective clothes because it makes your skin more susceptible to the sun.
