indicaciones terapéuticas:

Sirolimus oral solution is indicated for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients aged 13 years or older receiving renal transplants. In patients at low-to moderate-immunologic risk , it is recommended that sirolimus oral solution be used initially in a regimen with cyclosporine and corticosteroids; cyclosporine should be withdrawn 2 to 4 months after transplantation [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. In patients at high-immunologic risk (defined as Black recipients and/or repeat renal transplant recipients who lost a previous allograft for immunologic reason and/or patients with high panel-reactive antibodies [PRA; peak PRA level > 80%]), it is recommended that sirolimus oral solution be used in combination with cyclosporine and corticosteroids for the first year following transplantation [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) , Clinical Studies (14.3) ]. Cyclosporine withdrawal has not been studied in patients with Banff Grade 3 acute rejection or vascular rejection prior to cyclosporine withdraw

Resumen del producto:

Since sirolimus oral solution is not absorbed through the skin, there are no special precautions. However, if direct contact of the oral solution occurs with the skin or eyes, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water; rinse eyes with plain water. Do not use sirolimus oral solution after the expiration date. The expiration date refers to the last day of that month. Sirolimus oral solution is a yellow solution. Each sirolimus oral solution carton, NDC 60505-6197-2, contains one 2 oz (60 mL fill) amber glass bottle of sirolimus (concentration of 1 mg/mL), one oral syringe adapter for fitting into the neck of the bottle, sufficient disposable oral syringes (amber color) and caps for daily dosing, and a carrying case. Sirolimus oral solution bottles should be stored protected from light and refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Once the bottle is opened, the contents should be used within one month. If necessary, the patient may store the bottles at room temperatures up to 25°C (77°F) for a short period of time (e.g., not more than 15 days for the bottles). A syringe (amber color) and cap are provided for dosing, and the product may be kept in the syringe for a maximum of 24 hours at room temperatures up to 25°C (77°F) or refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). The syringe should be discarded after one use. After dilution, the preparation should be used immediately. Sirolimus oral solution provided in bottles may develop a slight haze when refrigerated. If such a haze occurs, allow the product to stand at room temperature and shake gently until the haze disappears. The presence of this haze does not affect the quality of the product.

What is sirolimus oral solution?
Sirolimus oral solution is a prescription medicine used to prevent
rejection (anti-rejection medicine) in
people 13 years of age and older who have received a kidney
transplant. Rejection is when your body's
immune system recognizes the new organ as a "foreign" threat and
attacks it.
Sirolimus oral solution is used with other medicines called
cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune),
and corticosteroids. Your doctor will decide:
•
if sirolimus oral solution is right for you, and
•
how to best use it with cyclosporine and corticosteroids after your
transplant.
It is not known if sirolimus oral solution is safe and effective in
children under 13 years of age.
