Typical dosage for Melphalan
Multiple myeloma
- Tablets: The typical dose is 6 mg by mouth once a day for 2 to 3 weeks, followed by an off period for up to 4 weeks. You’ll need to get lab work done regularly during this time so your provider can check your blood cell counts. Once your blood cell counts are trending up, the recommended maintenance dose is 2 mg daily.
- Intravenous (IV): Your provider will calculate your dose of melphalan (Alkeran) using your body surface area (BSA, in units of m2), which takes into account your body weight and height. The typical dose is 16 mg/m2 given as an infusion through the vein every 2 weeks for 4 doses, followed by an off period. Once your blood cell counts are trending up, you’ll receive melphalan (Alkeran) every 4 weeks.
Ovarian cancer
- Tablets: The dose depends on your weight. One typical dosing regimen is 0.2 mg/kg by mouth once a day for 5 days per cycle. Each cycle is repeated every 4 to 5 weeks depending on your blood cell counts.
Your dose might differ if you have kidney problems.
