What does it do?

Everolimus is a drug with immunosuppressive and anti-cancer effects that plays a role in blocking signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and proliferation. It is mainly used in cancer treatment and for regulating immune responses after transplantation.

Everolimus prevents cancer cells from growing or dividing by inhibiting the activity of a specific protein complex within the cell known as mTOR. It also regulates excessive activation of immune cells, thereby modulating the immune response.
