Rapamune
Rapamune, also known by its generic name sirolimus, is a medication primarily used to prevent organ rejection in patients who have undergone kidney transplantation. It works by suppressing the body's immune system to prevent it from attacking the transplanted organ.
How is this medication used?
Rapamune is usually taken once daily, consistently with or without food. Patients should follow their doctor's instructions carefully regarding dosage. It's important not to crush, chew, or break the tablets.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of Rapamune include mouth sores, diarrhea, increased blood cholesterol and triglycerides, lower blood platelet count, and increased risk of infections. Less common but more severe side effects can include lung problems and kidney damage.
What are the potential interactions?
Rapamune can interact with a variety of medications including certain antibiotics, antifungal medications, seizure medications, and other drugs that suppress the immune system. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should also be avoided as they can increase blood levels of the medication, leading to increased risk of side effects.
