CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY OF EVEROTAS
Everolimus is an prohibitor of mTOR, links at peak compatibility to FK506 binding protein 12, through producing drug complex which prevents the productive of mTOR. This inhibition reduces the activity of effectors downstream, which may lead to stoppage of cell progression from G1 into S phase, finally causes cell growth arrest and apoptosis.Everotas also prohibits the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor, causing to a reduces in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. The results of everolimus prevention of mTOR is a reduction in cell multiplication, angiogenesis, and glucose uptake.

Drug – Drug interaction
Interaction of Everotas 10mg with strong inhibitor of CYP3A4, or P-gp, cause reducing the efflux of Everolimus and high plasma concentration of Everolimus. Concomitant use of Everotas 10mg with strong CYP3A4 inducers, will increasing the disclosure of Everolimus. Interaction of Everotas 10mg with cyclosporine will increasing the AUC level of Everolimus frequently. Interaction of ketoconazole with Everotas 10mg tablet or other CYP3A4 inhibitors will increasing the plasma concentration and AUC of Everolimus. Combination of Everotas 10mg with verapamil leads to increasing the plasma concentration of Everolimus. Interaction of Everotas 10mg with Atorvastatin or pravastatin leads to rhabdomyolysis, due to increasing concentration of lipid lowering agents. When Everotas 10mg combination with rifampicin will reduces the AUC of Everolimus
