Drug Facts

Typical dosing81-100 mg PO daily for VTE prophylaxis in low-risk lenalidomide-treated patients

Notes

Standard VTE prophylaxis for lenalidomide-treated MM patients without additional VTE risk factors. For higher-risk patients (prior VTE, immobility, central venous catheter, active disease at induction) switch to LMWH (enoxaparin 40 mg SC daily) or apixaban. Hold aspirin if platelets <50K.
