Product Introduction
Lenalidomide 5mg is an immunomodulatory anticancer medicine used in selected multiple-myeloma and myelodysplastic-syndrome regimens. Its place in treatment depends on the disease subtype and previous therapy.
How to use
Swallow the capsules whole with water at the scheduled time, with or without food. Follow the treatment days and rest days of the regimen. Kidney function can change the dose; on dialysis days the dose is generally taken after dialysis.
How it works
Lenalidomide alters cereblon-dependent protein breakdown and immune signalling, reducing survival of susceptible cancer cells and modifying their marrow environment.
Side effects
Low blood counts, fatigue, diarrhoea, constipation and rash can occur. Blood clots and serious infections are important risks.
Important information
It can cause severe birth defects. Pregnancy testing and effective pregnancy prevention are essential. Do not donate blood or sperm during treatment or the specified period afterwards.
Uses
- Selected multiple-myeloma and myelodysplastic-syndrome treatment regimens.
Benefits
Can improve control of abnormal marrow cells and support longer disease responses in suitable regimens.
Why may a blood-thinning medicine be included?
Some lenalidomide combinations increase clot risk; prevention is selected according to the regimen and individual risk.
Can someone else handle a broken capsule?
Avoid direct contact with the powder, particularly during pregnancy. Broken capsules need safe handling rather than being emptied into food.
Why do kidney tests affect a capsule dose?
Lenalidomide is cleared mainly through the kidneys, so reduced clearance increases exposure.
Can a low-dose capsule still require pregnancy precautions?
Yes. The risk of severe fetal harm applies across the available capsule strengths.
