Alkat 5mg Tablet contains melphalan, a powerful anticancer medication belonging to a class of drugs called alkylating agents. It works by targeting and slowing the growth of cancer cells in your body. This medication is prescribed for multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer), advanced breast cancer, advanced ovarian cancer, and polycythemia vera (a condition causing excess red blood cells and blood clotting). Alkat 5mg Tablet reduces the number of abnormal cells your body produces, helping to control these serious conditions.
This is a prescription-only medication that requires careful monitoring by your healthcare provider. Before starting treatment with Alkat 5mg Tablet, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, recent chemotherapy or radiation therapy, kidney function, and any planned vaccinations.

It also blocks protein synthesis in these abnormal cells, effectively stopping or slowing their growth. This mechanism allows the medication to control cancer progression and reduce the abnormal cell count in conditions like multiple myeloma and polycythemia vera.
