Revlimid dose reply
HI Helen,
My dosage is 10 mg/day. The side effects are not too bad. Some itching of the scalp. Revlimid's side effects are much less than the Thalidomide I was on for 32 months.
Many patients suffer a drop in platelets or WBC when starting Revlimid but this seems to stabilize if the drug works for them.
I'm now in 14th week and seem stable in all counts.
