The medicare plan I’m on prefers covering the generic Lenolidomide but it has been out of stock for months. Anyone else in this situation?
The brand name for Lenolidamide is Revlimid.
One and the same.
A friend of mine was on Revlimid but her insurance switched to paying for the generic only which is Lenolidamide. She noticed a huge difference in side effects. Worse with the generic Lenolidamide. She said she preferred Revlimid but her insurance won't cover if there's a generic.
She always had a problem getting Lenolidamide so her Dr switched her to Pomalyst.
I had the same problem but in the end my dr ruled.
The supply shortage has been going on for several years SEEMS ODD TO ME! My insurance wanted me to take Lenolidomide (generic version) but was never available so I continued taking Revlimid until December 2023 when I stopped. I'm now on a clinical trial and take neither of these drugs.
But my question is: Is Lenolidomide available? Or is still on back order.
Really? Good to know!!
