Thalidomide
This medication has a complex history — once withdrawn due to causing severe birth defects, it is now used under strict controls to treat multiple myeloma and a complication of leprosy called erythema nodosum leprosum. It works partly by modulating the immune system and blocking new blood vessel growth that tumors need to grow. It is available only through a special restricted program, and must never be taken during pregnancy.
