Everolimus

Everolimus is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as mTOR inhibitors. It works by blocking a protein that helps regulate cell growth and division, which can slow down or stop the growth of certain types of cancer cells. Additionally, it is used to prevent organ transplant rejection by suppressing the immune system. Everolimus is administered orally and is often prescribed for specific cancers, such as kidney cancer, as well as for patients who have received organ transplants. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential while on this medication.
