Rapammune (also known by the generic name Sirolimus) is a medication that is used to decrease the body’s immune system, primarily in patients who have undergone kidney transplants. A strong immune system is necessary to fight foreign material in the body and a strong immune system will see a transplanted kidney as a foreign object and will want to reject it. Weakening the immune system will prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney, and this is the primary use of Rapamune.
