It's great to see this subject on the boards!My traditional chinese medicine doc has been encouraging me to research access to thalidomide for the past year!
Because thalidomide can causes severe teratogenic(birth)defects, prescribing of thalidomide has been severely restricted.An MD has to "pass" a certification to prescribe thalidomide before they are able.So you have to find a "certified" MD to do so, then if used for cancer tx, if would be off-label and not covered by insurance.Very frustrating, but not completely impossible.
So, if anyone out there is receiving thalidomide off label, I'd love to hear how you are responding!
