Overview Relidomide 25 Capsule

Lenalidomide 25mg capsules modulate the immune system's function. They treat multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. These capsules may be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing optimizes effectiveness. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician based on your condition and may be adjusted. Adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions; incorrect use or overdose can cause severe adverse reactions. Therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months to appear; discontinue only under medical supervision. 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 increasing bleeding risk and contact with contagious individuals. Regular blood tests monitor blood cell levels throughout treatment. Inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Effective contraception is crucial for both partners during treatment to prevent conception. Maintain adequate hydration by drinking plenty of fluids while on this medication.
