Patient summary
Sirolimus 1mg tablets, used in the management of transplant rejection. An mTOR inhibitor that holds T-cells and B-cells back from activation.
Mechanism of action
Sirolimus acts as an mTOR inhibitor that prevents the activation of T-cells and B-cells in response to cytokine stimulation. By blocking this cell cycle progression, it effectively prevents the immunological mechanisms that cause organ rejection.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Must not be used in pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Must not be used while breastfeeding.
Rapamycin contains sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor supplied as 1mg tablets. It is used in the management of transplant rejection. The originator company is Pfizer, and the medicine is also known as Rapamune.
Sirolimus restrains T-cell and B-cell activation after cytokine stimulation, which is how it guards against the immune response that rejects a transplanted organ. Its onset is 3–5 days and treatment is long-term. Blood levels need regular monitoring, live vaccines should be avoided, and effective contraception is required. It must not be used in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or by anyone hypersensitive to sirolimus. It interacts with cyclosporin, grapefruit and rifampicin. Pneumonitis, lymphoma and renal impairment are serious effects needing immediate medical attention.
