1. What Lenalidomida Mylan is and what it is used for
Lenalidomida Mylan contains the active substance "lenalidomide". This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect how the immune system works.
Lenalidomida Mylan is used in adults for:
- Multiple myeloma
- Myelodysplastic syndromes
- Mantle cell lymphoma
- Follicular lymphoma
Multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a specific type of white blood cells called plasma cells. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and multiply uncontrollably. This can damage bones and kidneys.
Multiple myeloma is generally not curable. However, signs and symptoms can be greatly reduced or may disappear for a period of time. This is called "remission".
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: in patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant
Lenalidomida Mylan is used as maintenance treatment after adequate recovery from a bone marrow transplant.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: in patients who cannot be treated with a bone marrow transplant
Lenalidomida Mylan is taken together with other medicines, including:
- a chemotherapy medicine called "bortezomib";
- an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone";
- a chemotherapy medicine called "melphalan"; and
- an immunosuppressant called "prednisone".
You will take these medicines at the beginning of treatment and then continue taking Lenalidomida Mylan alone.
If you are 75 years of age or older or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will monitor you carefully before starting treatment.
Multiple myeloma: in previously treated patients
Lenalidomida Mylan is taken together with an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone".
Lenalidomida Mylan may slow down the worsening of signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma. It has also been shown to delay the return of multiple myeloma after treatment.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
MDS are a group of different blood and bone marrow diseases. Blood cells become abnormal and do not function properly. Patients may experience a variety of signs and symptoms, including low red blood cell count (anaemia), the need for blood transfusions, and increased risk of infection.
Lenalidomida Mylan is used to treat adult patients diagnosed with MDS when all of the following apply:
- you require regular blood transfusions to treat low red blood cell levels ("transfusion-dependent anaemia");
- you have an abnormality in bone marrow cells called "isolated 5q cytogenetic abnormality". This means your body does not produce enough healthy blood cells;
- other treatments you have previously used are not suitable or have not worked well enough.
Lenalidomida Mylan can increase the number of healthy red blood cells your body produces by reducing the number of abnormal cells:
- this may reduce the number of blood transfusions needed. Blood transfusions may no longer be required.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
MCL is a cancer of part of the immune system (lymphatic tissue). It affects a type of white blood cells called "B-lymphocytes" or B-cells. MCL is a disease in which B-cells grow uncontrollably and accumulate in lymphatic tissue, bone marrow, or blood.
Lenalidomida Mylan is used as monotherapy to treat adult patients who have previously received treatment with other medicines.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
FL is a slow-growing cancer that affects B-lymphocytes. These are a type of white blood cells that help the body fight infections. In patients with FL, too many of these B-lymphocytes may accumulate in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Lenalidomida Mylan is used in combination with another medicine called "rituximab" for the treatment of adult patients who have received prior treatment for follicular lymphoma.
How Lenalidomida Mylan works
Lenalidomida Mylan works by affecting the body's immune system and directly attacking cancer cells. It acts in several ways:
- it stops the development of cancer cells;
- it inhibits the growth of blood vessels in cancer;
- it stimulates part of the immune system to attack cancer cells.
2. What you need to know before starting Lenalidomida Mylan
You must read the package leaflet of all medicines you are going to take in combination with Lenalidomida Mylan before starting treatment with Lenalidomida Mylan.
Do not take Lenalidomida Mylan
- if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, as Lenalidomida Mylan is expected to be harmful to the fetus (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception: information for women and men”);
- if you are capable of becoming pregnant, unless you follow all necessary measures to prevent pregnancy (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception: information for women and men”). If you are capable of becoming pregnant, your doctor will document with each prescription that all necessary measures have been taken and will provide you with this confirmation;
- if you are allergic to lenalidomide or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor.
If any of these conditions apply to you, do not take Lenalidomida Mylan. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting Lenalidomida Mylan if:
- you have ever had blood clots; during treatment, you have an increased risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries;
- you have any signs of infection, such as cough or fever;
- you have or have previously had a viral infection, especially hepatitis B, varicella zoster, or HIV. If in doubt, consult your doctor. Treatment with Lenalidomida Mylan may reactivate the virus in patients who carry it, leading to recurrence of the infection. Your doctor should check whether you have ever had hepatitis B infection;
- you have kidney problems; your doctor may adjust your dose of Lenalidomida Mylan;
- you have had a heart attack, have ever had a blood clot, or if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels;
- you have had an allergic reaction while using thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or breathing difficulties;
- you have previously experienced a combination of any of the following symptoms: widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, increased liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes (these are signs of a serious skin reaction called drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS syndrome or drug hypersensitivity syndrome) (see also section 4 “Possible side effects”).
If any of the above conditions apply to you, inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment.
At any time during or after treatment, inform your doctor or nurse immediately if you experience:
-
blurred vision, loss of vision, double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in one arm or leg, change in walking pattern or balance problems, persistent numbness, reduced sensation, or loss of sensation, memory loss or confusion. These may be symptoms of a serious and potentially fatal brain disease known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you have any of these symptoms before starting lenalidomide treatment, inform your doctor if you notice any changes in these symptoms.
-
shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, faster heartbeat, or swelling in the legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a serious condition known as pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).
Tests and monitoring
Before starting treatment with Lenalidomida Mylan and during treatment, you will have regular blood tests. This is because Lenalidomida Mylan may cause a decrease in blood cells that help fight infections (white blood cells) and those involved in blood clotting (platelets).
Your doctor will ask you to have blood tests:
- before treatment;
- weekly during the first 8 weeks of treatment;
- thereafter, at least once a month.
You may be evaluated for signs of cardiopulmonary problems before and during treatment with lenalidomida.
For patients with MDS taking Lenalidomida Mylan
If you have MDS, you may be at higher risk of developing a more advanced disease called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition, it is unknown how lenalidomide affects the likelihood of developing AML. Therefore, your doctor may perform blood tests to detect signs that could better predict the possibility of developing AML during treatment with Lenalidomida Mylan.
For patients with MCL taking Lenalidomida Mylan
Your doctor will ask you to have blood tests:
- before treatment;
- weekly during the first 8 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment;
- then every 2 weeks during cycles 3 and 4 (see section 3 “Treatment cycle” for more information);
- after this, at the beginning of each cycle;
- at least once a month.
For patients with FL taking Lenalidomida Mylan
Your doctor will ask you to have blood tests:
- before treatment;
- weekly during the first 3 weeks (1 cycle) of treatment;
- then every 2 weeks during cycles 2 to 4 (see section 3 “Treatment cycle” for more information);
- after this, at the beginning of each cycle;
- at least once a month.
Your doctor may check whether you have a high total tumor burden in the body, including in the bone marrow. This could lead to a condition in which tumors break down and release unusual levels of chemicals into the blood, which in turn may cause kidney failure (this condition is called “tumor lysis syndrome”).
Your doctor may examine you to check for skin changes, such as red spots or rashes.
Your doctor may adjust the dose of Lenalidomida Mylan or interrupt your treatment, depending on the results of your blood tests and your general condition. If you are a newly diagnosed patient, your doctor may also evaluate your treatment based on your age and other existing conditions.
Blood donation
You must not donate blood during treatment or for at least 7 days after treatment ends.
Children and adolescents
Lenalidomida Mylan is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Elderly patients and patients with kidney problems
If you are 75 years of age or older or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will carefully evaluate you before starting treatment.
Other medicines and Lenalidomida Mylan
Inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines.
This is because Lenalidomida Mylan may affect how other medicines work. In addition, some medicines may affect how Lenalidomida Mylan works.
Specifically, inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking any of the following medicines:
- certain medicines used to prevent pregnancy, such as oral contraceptives, as they may become ineffective;
- certain medicines used for heart problems, such as digoxin;
- certain medicines used to thin the blood, such as warfarin.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception: information for women and men
Pregnancy
Women taking Lenalidomida Mylan
- You must not take Lenalidomida Mylan if you are pregnant, as it is expected to be harmful to the fetus.
- You must not become pregnant while taking Lenalidomida Mylan. Therefore, you must use effective contraceptive methods if there is any possibility you could become pregnant (see “Contraception”).
- If you become pregnant during treatment with Lenalidomida Mylan, you must stop treatment and inform your doctor immediately.
Men taking Lenalidomida Mylan
- If your partner becomes pregnant while you are taking Lenalidomida Mylan, you must inform your doctor immediately. It is advisable that your partner seeks medical advice.
- You must also use effective contraceptive methods (see “Contraception”).
Breastfeeding
You must not breastfeed while taking Lenalidomida Mylan, as it is unknown whether Lenalidomida Mylan passes into breast milk.
Contraception
For women taking Lenalidomida Mylan
Before starting treatment, ask your doctor whether you are capable of becoming pregnant, even if you think this is unlikely.
If you are capable of becoming pregnant:
- you will undergo pregnancy tests under medical supervision (before each treatment cycle, at least every 4 weeks during treatment, and for at least 4 weeks after treatment ends), unless it has been confirmed that your fallopian tubes are permanently closed (tubal ligation) to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus;
And
- you must use effective contraceptive methods starting at least 4 weeks before beginning treatment, throughout treatment, and for at least 4 weeks after treatment ends. Your doctor will advise you on the most appropriate contraceptive methods.
For men taking Lenalidomida Mylan
Lenalidomida Mylan is present in human semen. If your partner is pregnant or could become pregnant and is not using an effective contraceptive method, you must use condoms during treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment ends, even if you have had a vasectomy.
Driving and use of machines
Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel dizzy, tired, drowsy, have vertigo, or blurred vision after taking Lenalidomida Mylan.
Lenalidomida Mylan contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per capsule: that is, essentially “sodium-free”.
3. How to take Lenalidomida Mylan
Lenalidomida Mylan must be prescribed and administered by a healthcare professional experienced in the treatment of multiple myeloma, MDS, CMML, or FL.
- When Lenalidomida Mylan is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma in patients who cannot undergo a bone marrow transplant or who have received prior treatments, it is taken in combination with other medications (see section 1 “What Lenalidomida Mylan is used for”).
- When Lenalidomida Mylan is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma in patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant, or for treating patients with MDS or CMML, it is taken alone.
- When Lenalidomida Mylan is used for the treatment of follicular lymphoma, it is taken together with another medicine called “rituximab”.
Always follow exactly the instructions for taking Lenalidomida Mylan provided by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
If you are taking Lenalidomida Mylan together with other medications, you should refer to the package leaflet of those other medicines for additional information on their use and effects.

If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
4. Possible adverse effects
Like all medicines, Lenalidomida Mylan may cause adverse effects, although not everyone experiences them.
If you experience any of the following serious adverse effects, stop treatment with Lenalidomida Mylan and seek immediate medical attention, as you may require urgent medical treatment:
- Hives, rashes, swelling of the eyes, mouth or face, difficulty breathing or itching, which may be symptoms of severe allergic reactions called angioedema and anaphylactic reaction.
- Severe allergic reaction that may start as a rash in one area but spreads, leading to significant skin loss throughout the body (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and/or toxic epidermal necrolysis).
- Widespread rash, high body temperature, elevated liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes and effects on other organs (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS syndrome or drug hypersensitivity syndrome). See also section 2.
Contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following serious adverse effects:
