Alkeran manufacturer?

Who manufactures Alkeran?

Alkeran (melphalan) is manufactured by several companies depending on the country and formulation (for example, tablets vs. injection). The exact manufacturer for the product you can buy is usually shown on the package label and the prescribing information for your local market.

How do I find the specific manufacturer for the Alkeran I have?

Check one of these places on your box or leaflet:
- Manufacturer name and address (often listed under “Manufacturer”)
- Marketing authorization holder (sometimes different from the manufacturer)
- National product information sheet for your country

Is “Alkeran” the same as melphalan from other manufacturers?

Yes. Alkeran is a brand name for melphalan, and other companies may sell melphalan under different brand names or as generics/biosimilars (depending on local approvals). The active ingredient is what matters clinically, but the manufacturer can affect packaging, excipients, and availability.

What should I do if my Alkeran looks different or the manufacturer changed?

If you receive a different brand/manufacturer than before, confirm:
- The active ingredient is melphalan
- The strength and formulation match what your prescriber intended
- You have not received a different product with a similar name

If you share your country (and whether it’s tablets or injection) or the manufacturer name shown on your pack, I can help you identify which company it corresponds to.
