Alkeran 50mg/10ml Injection 1s

Alkeran 50mg/10ml Injection contains melphalan, a chemotherapy medicine from the alkylating agent drug class. It's given as part of a carefully planned hospital treatment programme, so you'll always have a clinical team guiding you through the process. Side effects that are commonly monitored include a drop in blood cell counts, nausea and vomiting, mouth soreness, and an increased risk of infection during treatment. It's understandable to feel a little anxious before starting, and your haematology or oncology team can walk you through exactly what to expect at each stage.

Dosage is calculated individually by your specialist based on your body weight or surface area, kidney function, and treatment plan. This is always administered and adjusted by your medical team, never self-directed.

• Reduced blood cell counts neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anaemia
• Nausea and vomiting
• Mouth or throat soreness
• Increased susceptibility to infection
• Hair thinning
• Hypersensitivity or infusion-related reactions
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite

Unopened vials should be stored as directed on the packaging, generally refrigerated and protected from light. Once reconstituted, the solution has a limited stability window and is used promptly according to hospital pharmacy protocol.

• Only receive Alkeran through a licensed hospital or oncology/haematology unit under specialist supervision.
• Attend all scheduled blood tests so your care team can monitor your counts closely.
• Tell your team immediately if you notice fever, unusual bruising, or signs of infection.
• Never attempt home storage or self-administration of this injection.
• Keep a current list of all medicines and supplements for your care team.
• Ask about supportive care options e.g. anti-sickness medicine if side effects arise.

Alkeran Injection is not self-administered. It is reconstituted and given intravenously by a trained healthcare professional in a hospital setting, often as part of a defined treatment or conditioning schedule determined by your specialist.

Unopened Alkeran vials typically carry a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from manufacture when stored correctly. Hospital pharmacy staff check expiry dates before every dose is prepared.

The active ingredient is melphalan, present at 50mg per 10ml vial.

Alkeran should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity to melphalan, and requires careful specialist assessment in those with significantly reduced kidney function, active infection, or very low blood counts. It is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless a specialist determines it is clinically necessary.

Melphalan may interact with other medicines that affect bone marrow function or kidney clearance, and live vaccines are generally avoided during and after treatment — always share your full medicine list with your care team. There are no major established food interactions, though your team may advise on nutrition and hydration to help you tolerate treatment.
