Lenalidomide and Revlimid are the same medication; Revlimid is simply the brand name for lenalidomide. If your doctor prescribes lenalidomide, it is the same as taking Revlimid. Always follow your doctor's advice and discuss any concerns about your treatment. For more details, visit: [Revlimid (Lenalidomide) for Myeloma](ht Show Full Answer

I only get Revlimid. The reason is that I have a large copay but as long as I get Revlimid I can use a Bristol Meyers copay card. That will not cover the generic since they manufacture Revlimid only.

Yes I knew this but I thought I saw someone write the other day, only take revlimid won’t accept the generic. I was told I could choose either at beginning and said it could change here and there depending on what is in stock. Most of the months I have received lenalidomide.
