Dosage and direction
Take the capsule orally with a glass of water. The capsule should be swallowed whole. Avoid crushing or chewing it. Always follow your doctor's advice about when and how to take this medicine.
Precautions
Patients with a history of seizures or low white blood cell counts should exercise caution when taking Thalix. Caution is also advised for patients with HIV infection due to potential interactions with antiretroviral medicines.
Thalix is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the risk of severe harm to the baby. Consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Contraindications
Thalix capsule should not be used by patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to thalidomide as it could lead to severe allergic reactions.
Possible side effect
Thalix may cause drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, weakness, dry skin, peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), and venous thromboembolism (blood clots).
Drug interaction
Consuming Thalix capsule with sleeping pills like zolpidem can further increase drowsiness. Medicines like vincristine, didanosine, and stavudine, when taken with Thalix, may heighten the risk of nerve damage causing numbness or tingling in hands and feet. The effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives such as estradiol may decrease when used along with Thalix capsule.
Missed dose
If you forget to take Thalix when you should, try to take it as soon as you realise. But if it's nearly time for the next dose, leave out the one you missed and go back to your normal schedule. You should never take an extra dose without your doctor's advice.
Overdose
If you take more Thalix capsule than your doctor has instructed, you might feel extremely sleepy. If this happens, let your doctor know right away.
