WHAT RAPAMUNE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Rapamune contains the active substance sirolimus, which belongs to a
group of medicines called
immunosuppressants. It helps to control your body’s immune system
after you have received a kidney
transplant.
Rapamune is used in adults to prevent your body from rejecting
transplanted kidneys and is normally
used with other immunosuppressant medicines called corticosteroids and
initially (the first 2 to
3 months) with ciclosporin.
Rapamune is also used for the treatment of patients with sporadic
lymphangioleiomyomatosis
(S-LAM) with moderate lung disease or declining lung function. S-LAM
is a rare progressive lung
disease that affects predominantly women of childbearing age. The most
common symptom of S-LAM
is shortness of breath.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Prophylaxis of organ rejection_
Treatment should be initiated by and remain under the guidance of an
appropriately qualified specialist
in transplantation.
_Initial therapy (2 to 3 months post_-_transplantation)_
The usual dose regimen for Rapamune is a 6 mg single oral loading
dose, administered as soon as
possible after transplantation, followed by 2 mg once daily until
results of therapeutic monitoring of
the medicinal product are available (see _Therapeutic monitoring of
the medicinal product and dose _
_adjustment_). The Rapamune dose should then be individualised to
obtain whole blood trough levels of
4 to 12 ng/mL (chromatographic assay). Rapamune therapy should be
optimised with a tapering
regimen of steroids and ciclosporin microemulsion. Suggested
ciclosporin trough concentration ranges
for the first 2-3 mo
