I was told that there is currently a shortage of Revlimid, has anyone else in treatment ever experienced a shortage of medications in their treatment???
Just curious 🤔 👀 😏

Reason for the Shortage:
Generic lenalidomide capsules have volume restrictions as part of the patent settlements between generic companies and Celgene (Bristol Myers Squibb). The volume restrictions are expected to be in effect until January 31, 2026.
Alvogen did not provide a reason for the shortage.
Apotex did not provide a reason for the shortage.
Bristol Myers Squibb has Revlimid available.
Camber allocates specific amounts to REMS certified specialty pharmacies due to the volume restrictions for lenalidomide.
Cipla did not provide a reason for the shortage.
Dr. Reddy's was not available to provide information.
Mylan has lenalidomide capsules available.
Sun has lenalidomide capsules available.
Teva allocates specific amounts to wholesalers due to the volume restrictions for lenalidomide.
I’ve never heard of there being a shortage of Revlimid. I think it’s only a shortage if they don’t want to pay for it. Since you’re diagnosed with MM, you should be getting 100% disability compensation.
My husband also is a veteran, he has smoldering myeloma. So right now, there’s no need for medication.
Don’t let them off the hook, they’re responsible for your healthcare.!
Just curious, what is your percentage of disability?
That's great to hear that you are receiving your medications through the V.A. hospital in Dallas. Here are some resources and tips that might be helpful for managing your myeloma treatment and associated costs:
