Lenalidomide

Uses

Lenalidomide is used in the treatment of multiple myeloma and leprosy reactions.

How it Works

How Lenalidomide works Lenalidomide is an anti-cancer medication. It enhances the immune system, which indirectly attacks cancer cells. Additionally, it prevents the growth of new blood vessels within tumors and restricts the production of chemical messengers, such as cytokines and growth factors, that are responsible for the growth of cancer cells. This is how it works against cancer.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Lenalidomide include headache, nausea, rash, breathlessness, dizziness, fatigue, decreased white blood cell count (neutrophils), joint pain, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), itching, diarrhea, depression, high blood pressure, low blood platelets, lymphocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, peripheral edema, cough, back pain, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, decreased appetite, decreased potassium level in blood, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, discomfort when urinating, palpitations, leukemia (blood cancer), decreased levels of thyroid hormones, bruising, falls, pneumonia, increased glucose level in blood, taste changes, and nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages).

Expert Advice

  • You may be monitored with regular blood tests before and during treatment, as lenalidomide may cause a decrease in white blood cells and platelets, which are essential for fighting infections, hemoglobin levels, and blood clotting.
  • Avoid activities that may lead to bruising or injury, and steer clear of contact with individuals who have colds or infections.
  • Lenalidomide can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing when going outdoors.
  • This medication may cause dehydration. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated while undergoing treatment.
  • Lenalidomide is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
  • Employ proper contraceptive methods at least 4 weeks before, during, and for 4 weeks after stopping treatment.
  • Women of childbearing potential will be required to undergo pregnancy tests before and after treatment.
  • Inform your doctor or dentist that you are taking lenalidomide before receiving any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
  • This medication may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Avoid driving or engaging in activities that require concentration until you know how it affects you.
  • You may be at risk of developing acute myelogenous leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, tumor lysis syndrome, fatal liver problems, severe skin reactions, and fatal heart issues during treatment with lenalidomide.
  • Discuss the benefits and risks of taking this medication with your healthcare provider in advance.
