How long should I take everolimus?

EverolimusIs an oral medicine that, depending on the brand, may be used to treat certain types of cancer or to suppress the immune system. Everolimus needs to be taken long-term. As long as it is effective, it needs to be taken every day unless unacceptable side effects occur.

In clinical trials, the average duration of everolimus treatment was approximately24.0 weeks. Before you start taking everolimus, your doctor will do some blood tests that will be repeated regularly while you are taking everolimus. These check the levels of certain blood cells and other substances in the blood, and check how well the liver and kidneys are working. Everolimus can be taken with or without food. It should be taken at approximately the same time each day. If a patient misses a dose of everolimus, take it within 6 hours of the time he or she usually takes the drug. If more than 6 hours have passed, skip the dose and take everolimus as usual the next day.

Everolimus is an mTOR inhibitor that binds to FK506binding protein -12 (FKBP-12) with high affinity, thereby forming a drug complex that inhibits mTOR activation. This inhibition reduces the activity of downstream effectors, resulting in a block in the progression of cells from G1 to S and subsequent induction of cell growth arrest and apoptosis. Everolimus also inhibits the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor, resulting in reduced expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. Inhibition of mTOR by everolimus results in decreased cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and glucose uptake. There are generic drugs in India, and each box costs about 1,000 yuan.
