About

Certican 0.75mg Tablet is an anticancer medication from the mTOR kinase inhibitor class and contains everolimus as its active ingredient. It is prescribed for treating advanced breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma—a tumor located in the brain’s ventricles. Maintaining proper oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups is important during treatment, as this medication can lead to mouth sores or ulcers. In treating subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, it is often used alongside cyclophosphamide, an alkylating agent.

Before beginning treatment, it's important to understand that Certican can increase your risk of bacterial or viral infections. If you have a history of Hepatitis B, this medication may cause the virus to reactivate. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice symptoms like fever, chills, cough, yellowing of the skin, joint pain, or swelling. Minimize exposure to sunlight and UV rays by wearing protective clothing and using sunscreen, as the drug may heighten the risk of certain cancers. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment, as they can interfere with how the medicine works.

This medicine is not recommended for children or adolescents under 18 years of age. Inform your doctor immediately if you develop chest pain, shortness of breath, or a worsening cough. Your doctor may routinely check white blood cell counts, platelets, blood sugar levels, electrolytes, and kidney function during treatment to avoid serious side effects. Certican 0.75mg can potentially affect kidney function, so inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease, heart failure, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. You should also avoid live vaccines and stay away from individuals who have recently received them.
