Thalidomide: The Good and the Bad sides of a medicine.
We will consider the history and infamous actions of Thalidomide on the embryo and why these continue to be important; we will then move on to how it is now used to treat a range of conditions, including Multiple Myeloma. Finally we will look at research to retain the clinical benefits of the drug whilst removing some of the potential risks.
