Benefits of Thalon 100 mg Tablet

Multiple myeloma: Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects plasma cells, a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are responsible for making antibodies that help the body fight infections. In multiple myeloma, abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow, crowding out normal cells and leading to the production of abnormal antibodies. Thalon 100 mg Tablet has immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic properties. It is thought to exert its anti-myeloma effects by modulating the immune system and inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that support the tumour.
