Evercan 10 mg Tablet

Evercan 10 mg Tablet is an oral prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of everolimus in each tablet. Everolimus belongs to the mTOR inhibitor class and is used for certain cancers and other doctor-managed conditions where slowing abnormal cell growth or immune activity is needed. This specific Evercan 10 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is not a starter dose for everyone and should be used only when a clinician has decided this strength is appropriate. In gastro-related care, everolimus may be used in some patients with specific advanced digestive system tumors as part of a treatment plan.

How it works: Everolimus works by blocking a protein called mTOR, which helps control how cells grow and divide. In tablet form, Evercan 10 mg Tablet delivers this medicine by mouth so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and act throughout the body.

Evercan 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of everolimus in each tablet, which is a relatively strong oral dose compared with lower-strength options used for stepwise titration. Because it is a higher-strength tablet, it is generally suited to patients who have already been assessed by a doctor and need this exact amount rather than a lower-strength tablet. The 10 mg tablet may be chosen when the prescriber wants a specific maintenance dose or a higher dose for a condition that requires it.

• Certain advanced cancers affecting the gastrointestinal tract
• Other everolimus-responsive tumors as prescribed
• Doctor-directed cancer treatment as part of combination therapy
• Condition-specific treatment plans requiring an oral mTOR inhibitor

• Swallow Evercan 10 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep a steady level of medicine in your body.
• You may take it with or without food, but take it the same way each time if your doctor advises consistency.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or prescriber specifically says it is acceptable.
• Wash your hands after handling the tablets and avoid touching broken tablets if one becomes damaged.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions; do not take extra tablets to make up for it.

Each Evercan 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of everolimus, so one tablet delivers a full 10 mg dose. How often it is taken depends on the condition being treated and your prescriber’s plan; it may be once daily or on another schedule directed by the doctor. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount, because the maximum dose and timing are individualized for this strength and should be set by a clinician.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
