Lenalid 25mg is a medication containing lenalidomide, a drug primarily used to treat certain types of cancers like multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Lenalidomide belongs to a class of drugs called immunomodulatory agents, which help regulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing.

Key uses of Lenalid 25mg include:

• Treatment of multiple myeloma, often combined with other therapies like dexamethasone.
• Management of MDS with a specific genetic abnormality called deletion 5q.
• Treating mantle cell lymphoma in patients whose disease has returned or worsened after previous treatments.

Patients on lenalidomide require regular blood tests to monitor blood counts, as the drug can suppress bone marrow function, leading to decreased white blood cells or platelets. It can also cause birth defects, so strict precautions are taken to prevent pregnancy while using this drug.
