Revlimid Itching
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

My husband started revlimid this week for maintenance. He had stem cell transplant in January 2020 and has been doing well. He is having itching mostly on his scalp. Has anyone else had this and how long did it last? Thank you.

Lenora, The Revlimid itching and Rash are common. Claritin or Benadryl usually helps but talk with doctor before starting. Love, Marcia 🌻🌸🌼

Yes I really had it all over in the beginning of Revlimid treatment
I was given dex 10 mg. A few times a week
Now I am down to 2mg twice a week.

Benedril or Claratin should work, I took it as needed and itching went away in about 3-4 days but occassionally comes back as I am on Rev for maintenance but did not have a transplant.

I was on Revlimid for maintenance after SCT in 2012 until 08/2019. I have had diarrhea since 2013. All the GI doctors I have seen cannot find the problem of why I still have it. Some days it is 10 to 20 times a day & the medicines I have taken seems to like paralyze my colon so nothing goes thur until I have diarrhea again. I am still in remission so far & it will be 9 years this November so I guess it is was worth it.

When I first started taking Revlimid my scalp started to itch. It lasted a couple of weeks then went away.
