Brief summary
Everolimus is approved for the prevention of cardiac transplant rejection in Russia. The drug is used in immunosuppressive therapy and has an anti-oncogenic effect, which is very important for patients with suppressed immunity. Everolimus belong to the drugs of critical dose and has a narrow therapeutic index. Small changes in the concentration of everolimus in the blood can lead to a significant reduction in the therapeutic effect or the development of toxic effects. Maintaining optimal therapeutic concentration of the drug in the blood is the most important condition for long-term stable graft function. In the appointment of everolimus therapeutic drug monitoring should be carried out in order to correct the dose. This article presents the features of the pharmacokinetics of everolimus in patients after heart transplantation, the factors affecting the formation of therapeutic concentration, and laboratory methods for monitoring the concentration of everolimus in the blood.
Key words
