Thalix-50 Capsule is taken orally.

Thalix-50 Capsule contains thalidomide (50 mg), which influences the body in the following ways:

• Modifies Cytokine Production: Thalidomide alters the production of cytokines, which are small proteins that play a significant role in cell signalling and can influence the immune response.

• Enhances T Cell and NK Cell Activity: It stimulates these cells, which are crucial components of the immune system. T cells help regulate immune responses, while NK cells are a type of white blood cell that can attack cells infected by viruses or tumours.

• Inhibits Angiogenesis: Thalidomide obstructs the formation of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. This action can slow down the growth of cancer by reducing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cancer cells.

• Direct Antitumour Effects: In addition to its indirect effects via the immune system and angiogenesis, thalidomide also has direct antitumour properties. These effects contribute to its usefulness in managing multiple myeloma.

• Store Thalix-50 Capsule at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep the capsules in their original packaging to protect them from light and moisture.

• Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or damp areas.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date on the package and ensure you use the medicine before it expires.

• If you're managing leprosy-related skin conditions or blood cancer with Thalix-50 Capsule, maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and protein can support your overall health and recovery. This might include fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and dairy products.

• Engaging in light physical activities like walking or gentle yoga could help improve blood circulation, which is beneficial for those managing these health conditions. But remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
