Sirotor 1 mg Tablet contains Sirolimus 1 mg, a prescription immunosuppressant medicine used to help prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney. It is generally prescribed as part of a transplant treatment regimen along with other immunosuppressant medicines. Sirolimus belongs to a class of medicines known as mTOR inhibitors. It works by reducing the activity of immune cells that may recognize the transplanted kidney as foreign and attack it. This helps the body accept and maintain the transplanted organ. Take Sirotor 1 mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your transplant specialist. Regular blood tests are required to monitor sirolimus levels, kidney function, liver function, blood-cell counts, cholesterol levels, and the response to treatment.
