Overview Ledomed 10mg Capsule

Immunomodulatory Ledomed 10mg capsules manage immune system function, treating multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. Consume this medication with or without food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician, varying based on your condition and potentially adjusted over time. Strict adherence to your doctor's instructions is crucial; improper use or overdose can cause serious adverse effects. Therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months to manifest; discontinue use only under your doctor's guidance. Common side effects include headache, fatigue, nausea, skin rash, and vertigo, among others. This medication can lower blood cell counts (red and white), increasing infection and bleeding risks. Avoid activities with a high bleeding risk and minimize contact with individuals experiencing infections. Regular blood tests to monitor blood cell levels are essential. Inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; reliable contraception is vital for both partners during treatment. Maintain adequate hydration by drinking plenty of fluids.
