Lenome 5 Capsule 10 contains lenalidomide (5 mg), which works on the body in several ways:

• Immunomodulation: Lenalidomide enhances the function of certain immune cells, particularly T-cells and natural killer cells, which help your body fight against cancer cells.

• Anti-angiogenesis: It prevents the formation of new blood vessels that supply nutrients to cancer cells, thereby limiting tumour growth and survival.

• Direct antitumour effect: Lenalidomide directly causes the apoptosis (programmed cell death) of cancer cells and prevents them from multiplying further.

• Cytokine modulation: It regulates the production of cytokines, which are proteins that control immune responses and inflammation in your body.

• If you have multiple myeloma or myelodysplastic syndromes, eat foods rich in iron and protein (like leafy greens, beans, and lean meats) to help manage anaemia, which often occurs with these conditions.

• Stay well-hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily. This will help your kidneys filter blood properly, which is especially important when your body is fighting blood cancers.
