Product Introduction
Lenalid 25mg Capsule is an immunomodulatory medicine containing Lenalidomide as the active ingredient. It is prescribed for adults with multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and follicular lymphoma. Lenalidomide works by modifying the body's immune response, slowing cancer cell growth, and promoting destruction of abnormal blood or bone marrow cells. For patients with multiple myeloma, it helps manage symptoms and improve quality of life in this chronic bone marrow disorder. It is also indicated for patients with mantle cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma, conditions affecting lymph nodes and B cells. Dosage for multiple myeloma is determined by the treating doctor based on individual patient condition and therapeutic response. Common side effects include fatigue, dizziness, and decreased blood counts, necessitating regular monitoring. The capsule price and availability may vary depending on manufacturer and stock status.
