Can Mydolen cause cancer?

People with multiple myeloma (a form of cancer that begins in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell) who receive melphalan (chemotherapy) and a blood stem cell transplant with the addition of Mydolen have a higher risk of developing new cancers. These types of cancers may include certain blood cancers (acute myelogenous leukemia or AML) and a type of lymphoma called Hodgkin lymphoma. Talk to your doctor about your risk of developing new cancers if you are taking Mydolen.

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test before treatment and every week for the first 8 weeks of treatment.

Frequent blood tests are important as Mydolen may decrease the blood cells that help fight infection (white blood cells) and help the blood to clot (platelets).

Do I need to use birth control methods while using Mydolen?

Women who can become pregnant must use two acceptable forms of birth control for 4 weeks before they begin taking Mydolen. Continue using contraceptives during your treatment, including the times when your doctor tells you to temporarily stop taking Mydolen, and for 4 weeks after your final dose. In men, Mydolen may pass into the semen while they are on treatment. Therefore, men must always use a latex condom every time they have sexual contact, even if they have had a vasectomy (surgery that prevents a man from causing a pregnancy). Use the contraceptive while you are taking Mydolen, during any breaks in your treatment, and for 4 weeks after your final dose.
