Have you noticed any problems having coffee while on Pomalyst?

While there isn't specific information about coffee interacting with Pomalyst (pomalidomide), it's worth noting that some MyMyelomaTeam members have reported digestive issues while on this medication.

One member mentioned experiencing constipation while taking Pomalyst and dexamethasone. Since coffee can sometimes affect digestion and may worsen certain gastrointestinal symptoms, it's important to pay attention to how your body responds.

If you're experiencing any uncomfortable symptoms after drinking coffee while on Pomalyst, it would be helpful to:

Your doctor knows your complete treatment plan and can provide personalized guidance about whether coffee is safe for you during treatment.
