Temozolomide capsules are indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme concomitantly with radiotherapy and then as maintenance treatment. Temozolomide capsules are also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with refractory anaplastic astrocytoma, i.e. patients who have experienced disease progression on a drug regimen containing nitrosourea and procarbazine.

TemoRel is available as capsules of 5 mg, 20 mg, 100 mg, 140 mg, 180 mg and 250 mg, which includes two unique strengths - 140 and 180 mg.
