Melphalan 2mg Tablets, 25 Tablets

Chemotherapy for Multiple Myeloma & Cancer Treatment

Melphalan 2mg Tablets are a prescription-only chemotherapy medicine used primarily for treating multiple myeloma, ovarian cancer, and leukemia. Each tablet contains 2mg of melphalan, an alkylating agent that works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, stopping them from multiplying.

This treatment is commonly used for patients undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplants, and in patients where oral chemotherapy is preferred over intravenous options.

At Dock Pharmacy, you can buy Melphalan 2mg Tablets online in the UK, provided you have a valid prescription. We ensure fast, reliable delivery and full pharmacist support.

Melphalan is also used in veterinary medicine to treat specific cancers that affect blood cells and lymphoid tissues in cats and dogs. Lymphoid tissues include the lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, adenoids, and bone marrow—key components of the immune system.
