(Rapamune) is suitable for patients receiving kidney transplants to prevent organ rejection. Recommended for use in combination with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. Very common (incidence >10% according to the International Council of Medical Organization frequency classification): lymphocele, peripheral edema, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hypokalemia, increased lactate dehydrogenase, acne, urinary tract infection; very common at higher doses: anemia, hypercholesterolemia, thrombocytopenia, hypertriesteremia (hyperlipidemia). Store in a cool, dry, dark environment.

So how to take Rapamune? Many patients don’t know how to use Rapamune. Let’s learn about it together.

Rapamune is recommended for combined use with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. Take orally, once daily. It should be started as soon as possible after transplantation. For new transplant recipients, the loading dose that should be taken for the first time is three times the maintenance dose. The recommended loading dose for kidney transplant patients is 6 mg and the maintenance dose is 2 mg/day. Although the loading dose of 15 mg and the maintenance dose of 5 mg/day used in clinical trials are safe and effective, the therapeutic benefits of doses above 2 mg are unclear for kidney transplant patients. The overall safety profile of patients taking Rapamune 2 mg daily was better than that of patients taking Rapamune 5 mg daily. 

Compared with azathioprine and placebo, Rapamune at 2 mg/d and 5 mg/d dosage levels significantly reduced the incidence of treatment failure in the 6 months after transplantation.
