Lenalidomide Tablets are a prescription medicine that belongs to the class of immunomodulatory drugs. They are mainly used to treat certain blood cancers and bone marrow disorders.

Here are the key details:

• Main Use:

  • Treats multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer.

  • Used for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a condition where the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells.

  • Sometimes used for other blood-related conditions as prescribed by a doctor.

• How It Works: Lenalidomide modifies the immune system to help the body attack abnormal cells, slows the growth of cancer cells, and reduces inflammation in the bone marrow.

• Administration: Taken orally, usually once daily, as directed by the doctor. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water. Dosage depends on the condition being treated.

• Common Side Effects: Fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, rash, swelling, or low blood counts.

• Serious Concerns:

  • Increased risk of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).

  • Severe low blood counts, infections, liver problems, or allergic reactions.

  • Teratogenic (can cause birth defects), so strict pregnancy prevention measures are required for women of childbearing age.

• Precautions:

  • Regular blood tests are needed to monitor blood counts, kidney, and liver function.

  • Women must avoid pregnancy during treatment and follow strict contraceptive guidelines.

  • Inform the doctor about all other medications to avoid interactions.

• Storage: Store at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.
