1. What Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is and what it is used for

What Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is

Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto contains the active substance ‘lenalidomide’. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines which affect how your immune system works.

What Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is used for

Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is used in adults for: – Multiple myeloma

• – Follicular lymphoma

Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer which affects a certain kind of white blood cell, called the plasma cell. These cells collect in the bone marrow and divide, becoming out of control. This can damage the bones and kidneys.

Multiple myeloma generally cannot be cured. However, the signs and symptoms can be greatly reduced or disappear for a period of time. This is called a ‘response’.

Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma – in patients who have had a bone marrow transplant Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is used on its own as a maintenance therapy after patients have recovered enough following a bone marrow transplant.

Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma – in patients who cannot have a bone marrow transplant Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is taken with other medicines. These may include: – a chemotherapy medicine called ‘bortezomib’

• – an anti-inflammatory medicine called ‘dexamethasone’

• – a chemotherapy medicine called ‘melphalan’ and

• – an immunosuppressant medicine called ‘prednisone’.

You will take these other medicines at the start of treatment and then continue to take Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto on its own.

If you are aged 75 years or older or have moderate to severe kidney problems – your doctor will check you carefully before starting treatment.

Multiple myeloma – in patients who have had treatment before

Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is taken together with an anti-inflammatory medicine called ‘dexamethasone’.

Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto can stop the signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma getting worse. It has also been shown to delay multiple myeloma from coming back following treatment.

Follicular lymphoma (FL)

FL is a slow growing cancer that affects the B-lymphocytes. These are a type of white blood cells that help your body fight infection. When you have FL, too many of these B-lymphocytes may collect in your blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen.

Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto is taken together with another medicine called ‘rituximab’ for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.

How Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto works

Lenalidomide Krka d.d. Novo mesto works by affecting the body’s immune system and directly attacking the cancer. It works in a number of different ways:

• – by stopping the cancer cells developing

• – by stopping blood vessels growing in the cancer

• – by stimulating part of the immune system to attack the cancer cells.

(see also section 4 “Possible side effects”).

If any of the above apply to you, tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before starting treatment.
