Product Introduction
Lenmid 10mg Capsule belongs to a group of medicines known as immunomodulatory agents and contains the active ingredient lenalidomide. It is used to treat adults with multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and follicular lymphoma. Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer in which abnormal plasma cells grow and multiply uncontrollably in the bone marrow, leading to weakened bones and reduced blood cell production. Although this condition cannot be completely cured, treatment helps manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Myelodysplastic syndrome is a group of disorders in which the bone marrow produces abnormal blood cells that do not function properly. Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare cancer that affects the lymph nodes, while follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing cancer of the B cells in the immune system. Common side effects of Lenmid 10mg Capsule include nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, muscle cramps, tiredness, fever, cough, headache, back pain, breathlessness, skin rashes, and thyroid or skin-related problems.
