Warning

You may be monitored with regular blood tests before and during the treatment as lenalidomide may cause a fall in the white blood cells and platelets, required to fight infection and blood clotting.

You should not donate blood, semen, or serum during treatment and for 4 weeks after the end of treatment.

You may be at risk of developing acute myelogenous leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma tumor lysis syndrome, fatal liver problems, severe skin reactions, and fatal heart problems during treatment with lenalidomide. You should discuss in advance the benefits and risks of taking lenalidomide. Lenalidomide is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years.

You should use proper contraceptive methods at least 4 weeks before, during, and until 4 weeks after stopping treatment. Women of childbearing potential will be required to undergo pregnancy tests before, every 4 weeks, and after the treatment.
