Nifediamide (Thalidomide) is a drug originally used to treat morning sickness. However, it was later discovered to be useful in treating diseases such as multiple myeloma and leukemia. Its main action is to suppress inflammation and the immune system, helping to reduce pain and improve patients' quality of life. Using nifediamide may cause some side effects, including drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, and skin reactions. During the use of nifediamide, patients need to receive regular monitoring and guidance from their doctor to ensure safe and effective use of the drug. Always follow your doctor's advice and do not change your dosage or stop using this medication on your own. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, please consult your doctor immediately.
Instructions for use: Please use the drug under the guidance of a physician. It is usually recommended to take it by mouth once daily, preferably at bedtime to reduce possible side effects. It must be taken with meals and avoid taking it with calcium-rich foods such as dairy products. During use, avoid engaging in activities that require high levels of alertness, such as driving.
Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 100 to 200 mg daily, given in one or divided doses. Depending on the severity of the condition and tolerance, the physician may adjust the dose, but the total dose should not exceed 400 mg daily. Children's dosages should be based on their weight and age and are usually lower than adult dosages and need to be carefully adjusted to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Please remember that the above are general guidelines only and specific dosage should be based on individual circumstances and physician recommendations. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
