Product Description:

• Revlimid contains the active agent lenalidomide. This influences certain cells and substances of the immune system and thus inhibits the formation of cancerous blood cells.
• Revlimid is given alone or in combination with other medicines to patients with multiple myeloma (a cancer characterized by the massive proliferation of certain cells in the bone marrow).

How to use:

• Revlimid capsules should be taken with a little water, with or without meals, at approximately the same time each day.
• They should neither be opened nor chewed. Hands should be washed immediately after contact with the capsules.
• Be careful never to suck up the powder contained in the capsules (for example from a damaged capsule) and to avoid any contact of the powder with the skin or mucous membranes (eyes!).

Caution & Warnings:

Additionally, patients should not donate sperm under any circumstances while taking lenalidomide or for 7 days after finishing lenalidomide.

• You should not donate blood during treatment, during interruptions or for at least 7 days after stopping treatment.

You should generally start applying these methods 4 weeks before the start of treatment, and strictly continue their application not only for the entire duration of treatment, including treatment breaks, but also for the four weeks following treatment.
