Product Introduction
Pomalidomide 4mg is an immunomodulatory medicine used with dexamethasone and sometimes other agents for previously treated multiple myeloma. It is selected according to earlier therapy and the pattern of relapse.
How to use
Swallow the capsules whole at a consistent time, with or without food, on the treatment days of the cycle. A common pattern is 21 days of treatment in a 28-day cycle. Do not open or chew the capsules.
How it works
Pomalidomide binds cereblon and changes targeted protein breakdown and immune signalling, reducing survival of susceptible myeloma cells.
Side effects
Low blood counts, fatigue, constipation, diarrhoea and rash can occur. Blood clots, serious infection and severe skin reactions are important risks.
Important information
Severe fetal harm can occur. Pregnancy prevention and testing are essential. Blood counts and clot-prevention needs are assessed throughout treatment.
Uses
- Relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in suitable combination regimens.
Benefits
Can improve control of myeloma that has returned after earlier treatments.
Why might clot prevention be prescribed?
Pomalidomide-containing combinations can increase venous and arterial clot risk, so prevention is selected for the individual regimen.
Does a low capsule strength remove the pregnancy risk?
No. The severe risk to an unborn baby applies at all strengths.
Why may the dose be reduced rather than stopped permanently?
A lower dose or treatment break can allow recovery from low counts or other toxicity while preserving ongoing treatment.
Can I donate blood during treatment?
No. Donation is avoided during treatment and for the required period afterwards to prevent exposing a pregnant recipient.
