What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Zortress Overview
Everolimus is used with other medications (such as cyclosporine) to prevent rejection of a kidney transplant. Everolimus is also used with other medications (such as tacrolimus) to prevent rejection of a liver transplant. Zortress belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants. It works by weakening your body's defense system (immune system) to help your body accept the new organ as if it were your own.
Zortress Warnings
Everolimus can increase your risk for developing certain types of cancers (including skin cancer, lymphoma). Tell your doctor right away if you notice unusual skin changes, change in the appearance/size of moles, unusual growths/lumps, swollen glands, night sweats, or loss of appetite/weight loss. Zortress lowers your ability to fight infections. This may make you more likely to get a serious (rarely fatal) infection or make any infection you have worse. Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever, chills, cough). Using Zortress may increase your risk for developing a blood clot in your kidney transplant, usually within the first 30 days after surgery. Tell your doctor right away if you have nausea/vomiting, pain in your groin/lower back/abdomen, blood in your urine, or unusual decrease in the amount of urine. Zortress may increase the risk of death from infection in people who have had a heart transplant. Before using Zortress, tell your doctor if you have had a heart transplant.
How to Use Zortress
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking everolimus and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
