What Are The Side Effects Of Velcade, Dexamethasone And Revlimid?

I have Multiple Myeloma since 2007. My current advice is to add Velcade to my already dexamethasone and Revlimid. The later I was on from July 2007 for 20 months and then nothing until my numbers went up from an average of 800-1000 to 1600. I am concerned to add this medication because of the many side effects. I am 72 years old and feel good except for my degeneration of my lower back which keeps me from walking without a walker at this time. Thank You

Hi,

Velcade, when taken along with Dexamethasone and Revlimid, is generally not known to cause any new side effect.

The concentration of Velcade may be decreased a little by Dexamethasone due to their interaction and do not cause adverse effect due to this interaction.

If a similar patient comes to my clinic, I would recommend taking the prescribed Velcade as advised by the treating doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
