User Reviews for sirolimus oral

I have had a kidney transplant since 1997 and have been fortunate of never experiencing rejection. For the first sixteen years I was prescribed a combination of cyclosporine, prednisone and azathioprine. In 2006 I had a two strokes and thanks to one of my children, I received treatment before I had the strokes. Later on, I developed antiphospholipid syndrome a blood clotting disorder. I also had a heart attack. Then in 2013 I was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma. I lost my left eye, cancer spread on the eye and lymph nodes. The only treatment I could receive was radiation. After the Cancer diagnosis, I was put on the lowest dose of syrolimus and prednisone regime. So far, I have had no problems with this medication treatment. I feel fortunate, that I had the opportunity of getting a cadaveric kidney. I got to see my children grow up and become contributing members of society. Everything else that happens to me, it will be like a cherry on top of ice cream. Read More Read Less

I have been on Sirolimus for less then two months. Broke out with lesions is what my Dr. is calling them, and bad night sweats. My Dr. says the drug is letting the harpies virus #6 come up which is usually suppressed by immune system. Most people have this virus and never know it, he days. I am looking for a new drug to replace this one. Have been on Prograf which caused toxicity in transplanted Kidney after 7 years. Was in bed for almost a year before they did a biopsy of transplant to figure out what was wrong. The Prograf was causing me to very tired all the time. Unable to work.Read More Read Less
