Zortress is an oral tablet made up of an immunosuppressant called everolimus. This medication is also known as Certican internationally, and can be purchased as the brand choice or as its generic alternative in 0.25mg or 0.75mg!

Zortress is prescribed usually with cyclosporine, steroids, or other medications to help prevent an organ from being rejected following a kidney or liver transplant. After a kidney or liver transplant, your immune system may sense your new organ as a foreign tissue and because of that, may try to reject it by making antibodies try to kill the new organ.

Zortress (everolimus) is effective at preventing the rejection of organs following a transplant due to its ability to temporarily weaken the immune system until your body recognizes the organ as one of its own.
