Pomide Capsule 2 mg contains Pomalidomide, an immunomodulatory and anticancer agent used primarily in the treatment of multiple myeloma. It is generally prescribed for patients who have received prior therapies and require further disease control. Pomide works by targeting cancer cell growth while also enhancing the body’s immune response against malignant cells.
