Lenalid 10 Capsule 30 contains lenalidomide (10 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Anti-Neoplastic Activity: Lenalidomide directly prevents the growth of cancer cells by triggering a process called apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumours.

• Immune System Modulation: It enhances the activity of T cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells, which are important components of your immune system that help fight cancer cells.

• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Lenalidomide inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are proteins that can promote inflammation and cancer growth in the body.

• Blood Cell Production Regulation: In myelodysplastic syndromes, it suppresses abnormal blood cell production while promoting the development of normal red blood cells, helping to reduce the need for blood transfusions.

• Store at room temperature (20°C to 25°C).

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect from light and moisture.

• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep all medicines out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you have multiple myeloma or myelodysplastic syndrome, wash your hands frequently and avoid crowds during treatment, as lenalidomide may lower your white blood cell count (neutropaenia).

• Include foods like leafy greens, beans, and lean meats in your diet to help manage anaemia, which is common in myelodysplastic syndromes.
