Sirolimus Tablets are a medication primarily used as an immunosuppressant to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients.

Here are the key details:

• Main Uses:

  • Prevention of organ transplant rejection, particularly kidney transplants.

  • Sometimes used in certain autoimmune conditions under strict medical supervision.

• How It Works:

  • Sirolimus inhibits a protein called mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin).

  • This action suppresses the immune system, preventing it from attacking the transplanted organ.

  • By reducing immune activity, it lowers the risk of organ rejection.

• Administration:

  • Taken orally, usually once daily, as prescribed by the doctor.

  • Swallow tablets whole with water, either on an empty stomach or consistent with meal instructions provided by your doctor.

  • Blood tests are required regularly to monitor drug levels and kidney function.

• Common Side Effects:

  • Mouth sores or irritation.

  • Fatigue, headache, or dizziness.

  • Nausea, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort.

  • Swelling in hands, feet, or legs.

• Serious Concerns:

  • Increased risk of infections due to suppressed immunity.

  • Possible high cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

  • Rare liver or kidney function impairment.

  • Increased risk of certain cancers with long-term use.

• Precautions:

  • Avoid exposure to infections; practice good hygiene.

  • Inform your doctor about other medications, as many drugs can interact with Sirolimus.

  • Regular blood tests are essential to monitor drug levels, kidney/liver function, and blood counts.

  • Do not stop taking Sirolimus abruptly without medical guidance, as this may increase risk of organ rejection.

• Storage: Store at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

👉 Sirolimus Tablets are effective for preventing transplant rejection, but require careful monitoring of immune function, blood levels, and organ health.
