Certican 0.75mg Tablet

Certican 0.75mg Tablet, made by Novartis Pharma (pakistan)ltd, is an mTOR inhibitor used in transplantation and cancer. Its active ingredient is Everolimus 0.75mg, and it is used for transplant rejection prevention and some cancers, including kidney, breast and neuroendocrine cancers. Pack size: 60.

Uses of Certican 0.75mg Tablet

Certican 0.75mg Tablet is used in two main ways. At lower doses it is combined with other medicines to prevent the body rejecting a transplanted kidney, heart or liver. It is also used to treat certain advanced cancers, including some kidney cancers, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer and neuroendocrine tumours, and tumours linked to tuberous sclerosis complex.

How Certican 0.75mg Tablet works

Everolimus blocks a protein called mTOR, which controls cell growth and division. In transplant patients this reduces the multiplication of immune cells that would attack the new organ. In cancer it slows the growth of tumour cells and reduces the blood supply that tumours need.
