Arava

Arava (lenalidomide) is a medication used primarily to treat certain blood cancers, such as multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. It works by modifying the immune system and helping to control abnormal cell growth. Arava can improve symptoms, reduce disease progression, and enhance quality of life for patients with these conditions. Because it affects the immune system and blood cells, it may cause side effects like fatigue, infections, or low blood counts. It is typically prescribed under close medical supervision to monitor its effectiveness and manage any potential risks.
