Rapamycin

Rapamycin is an immunosuppressant medication used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. It is also used to treat lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease. The drug works by inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which plays a role in cell growth and proliferation.

This prescription medication is typically administered orally and requires careful monitoring by a healthcare professional due to potential side effects and drug interactions. It is primarily for individuals undergoing organ transplantation or those diagnosed with LAM.
