MEDICATION GUIDE
Sirolimus(sir-OH-li-mus) Tablets
What is the most important information I should know about sirolimus?
Sirolimus can cause serious side effects, including:
1. Increased risk of getting infections. Serious infections can happen
including infections caused
by viruses, bacteria, and fungi (yeast). Your doctor may put you on
medicine to help prevent
some of these infections.
Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of infection
including fever or chills while
taking sirolimus tablets.
2. Increased risk of getting certain cancers. People who take
sirolimus have a higher risk of
getting lymphoma, and other cancers, especially skin cancer. Talk with
your doctor about your
risk for cancer. Sirolimus has not been shown to be safe and effective
in people who have had
liver or lung transplants. Serious complications and death may happen
in people who take
sirolimus after a liver or lung transplant.
You should not take sirolimus if you have had a liver or lung
transplant without talking with your
doctor.
See the section “What are the possible side effects of sirolimus?”
for information about other side
effects of sirolimus.
What is sirolimus?
Sirolimus 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 is used with other medicines called cyclosporine (Gengraf,
Neoral, Sandimmune), and
corticosteroids. Your doctor will decide:
•
if sirolimus is right for you, and
•
how to best use it with cyclosporine and corticosteroids after your
transplant.
It is not known if sirolimus is safe and effective in children under
13 years of age.
Sirolimus is a prescription medicine also used to treat
lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). LAM
is a rare progressive l.ung disease that affects predominantly women
of childbearing age.
