Revlimid (lenalidomide)

Revlimid (lenalidomide) is a medication used mainly to treat certain blood cancers like multiple myeloma and some types of anemia. It works by modulating the immune system to help fight cancer cells and by reducing abnormal blood cell production. Revlimid can slow disease progression and improve symptoms. Because it affects immune function and cell growth, it must be used under close medical supervision due to potential side effects, including risks of infection, blood clots, and birth defects. It is often used as part of combination therapy to manage specific blood disorders.
