Brain Tumors: A tumor is defined as the formation of solid mass tissue due to the abnormal growth of cells. A brain tumor is a serious condition where the cells (cancerous or non-cancerous) grow abnormally in the brain. There are different types of brain tumors which can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Lomoother 40 Capsule is used in the treatment of primary (a tumor that starts in any part of the brain) and metastatic (cancer cells which spread to other organs of the body) brain tumors.

Hodgkin’s Disease: Hodgkin’s disease or lymphoma is a blood cancer of a certain type of cells called WBCs, specifically lymphocytes. Lymphocytes normally help control infection and maintain the body's normal immunity. However, in a cancerous state, there is an abnormal multiplication of these blood cells, causing many problems such as fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, itching, night sweats and lymph node swelling.
