Does Everolimus need to be taken in combination with other medications?

Everolimus often needs to be used in combination with other medications for optimal treatment. The specific combination treatment regimen depends on the patient's disease type and condition. Here are some common everolimus combination treatments:
1. Prevention of rejection after organ transplantation: Everolimus is usually used together with other immunosuppressants (such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, etc.) to reduce rejection after organ transplantation. This combination treatment can help reduce the risk of the immune system attacking the transplanted organ and improve transplant success rates.

2. Breast cancer treatment: In some patients with breast cancer, especially hormone receptor-positive (ER+) and HER2-negative patients, everolimus is often used in combination with hormonal treatments (such as anatropide or isdorol). This combination therapy may enhance the effects of hormonal therapy and prolong progression survival.

3. Neuroendocrine tumor treatment: When everolimus is used to treat some neuroendocrine tumors, it may be used together with other drugs (such as hormonal drugs) to slow down the growth and spread of the tumor.
4. Meningioma (SEGA) treatment: For meningiomas associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), everolimus may be used as a single agent to help control tumor growth.
It should be noted that the combination treatment plan with everolimus should be formulated based on the doctor's recommendations and the patient's specific conditions. The purpose of combined therapy is to improve the therapeutic effect, reduce side effects, and adjust the treatment plan according to the patient's condition. If you are considering treatment with everolimus, it is recommended that you have a detailed discussion with a medical professional to understand the personalized combination treatment plan that is suitable for you.

It takes about 2 boxes of everolimus a month. For specific prices and medical insurance reimbursement policies, please consult the local hospital pharmacy or medical insurance bureau.
