What Is Rapamune Used For 

Sirolimus is the active ingredient of Rapamune, an immunosuppressant prescribed concomitant with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. It is used to prevent the body’s rejection in renal transplant patients by weakening the immune system. A healthy immune system attacks the transplanted organ for the body tends to detect it as an invader or threat, leading to rejection of the transplant. Rapamune prevents the white blood cells from damaging the transplanted organ and helps the body accept it. This medication can also be prescribed alone to treat patients with a lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis LAM.
