Introduction

Lenalid 10mg Capsule belongs to the group of medicines known as immunomodulatory agents. It contains the active ingredient Lenalidomide. It is indicated to treat adults with multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and follicular lymphoma. Multiple myeloma refers to the cancerous progression of plasma cells that are predominant in the bone marrow. These cells gather in the bone marrow and split uncontrollably. This type of cancer cannot be cured; however, the symptoms can be alleviated. Myelodysplastic Syndrome is a group of various blood and bone marrow diseases, where the blood cells become abnormal and do not function properly. Mantle cell lymphoma is a less common type of cancer that affects the lymph nodes. Follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing cancer that affects the B cells.

The common side effects associated with Lenalid 10mg Capsule are nausea, diarrhea, constipation, muscle cramps, tiredness, fever, cough, headache, back pain, breathlessness, rashes, thyroid and skin problems. Inform your doctor if any of these side effects disturb or persist in you.

Inform your doctor if you have allergic reactions to Lenalid 10mg Capsule and its ingredients. Before taking treatment with this medication, let your physician know if you ever had blood clots, heart attack, or if you smoke or have high blood pressure and cholesterol level. Inform your physician if you have viral infections like hepatitis B, varicella zoster, or HIV. Before and during treatment, your healthcare provider will take regular blood tests because it may cause a fall in blood cells. It is not recommended for children below 18.
