Clinical Overview

Everolimus Tablets (0.25mg, 0.5mg, 5mg, 10mg) is an oral derivative of rapamycin that selectively inhibits the mTORC1 serine/threonine kinase complex on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. In oncology, mTOR inhibition halts downstream protein synthesis (p70S6K, 4E-BP1), blocking cell proliferation, nutrient sensing, and VEGF-driven angiogenesis. In organ transplantation, it suppresses lymphocyte activation. Indicated for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (with exemestane), advanced renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic/gastrointestinal/lung neuroendocrine tumors (NET), subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA), and renal angiomyolipoma with tuberous sclerosis; lower doses (0.25/0.5mg) are used for kidney and liver transplant rejection prophylaxis.

Usage Guidelines

Oncology: Take orally 10 mg once daily with water, consistently with or without food. Transplant: Take 0.75 mg twice daily with therapeutic drug monitoring. Swallow tablets whole; do NOT chew or crush. Prophylactic alcohol-free dexamethasone mouthwash is recommended to prevent stomatitis.

*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.

Precautions & Warnings

Non-infectious pneumonitis is a class effect; monitor for cough or dyspnea and interrupt therapy if grade 2+ pneumonitis occurs. High incidence of stomatitis; manage with steroid mouthwashes. Monitor fasting blood glucose and lipid panel routinely. Substrate of CYP3A4.
