Buy Everolimus 10mg Tablets Online – mTOR Inhibitor for Advanced Breast Cancer, Renal Cell Carcinoma and Neuroendocrine Tumours
Buy Everolimus 10mg tablets online from HubPharm Africa, a PCN licensed specialty pharmacy. Everolimus is an oral mTOR inhibitor and 10mg once daily is the standard oncology dose, used for advanced hormone receptor positive HER2 negative breast cancer in combination with exemestane, for advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of VEGF-targeted therapy, and for advanced neuroendocrine tumours of pancreatic, gastrointestinal or lung origin.
Everolimus blocks mTOR, the master switch that tells a cell whether conditions are right to grow and divide. Tumours that depend on the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway stall when that switch is off, and the drug also cuts production of the growth factors tumours use to build their own blood supply. It is a targeted oral therapy taken at home rather than an infusion, which is why the monitoring and the counselling around it matter so much.
The two things that most often derail everolimus treatment are mouth ulcers and drug interactions, and both are manageable if they are anticipated. Every HubPharm order is reviewed by a licensed pharmacist who screens your full medicine list against the CYP3A4 pathway, counsels on mouth care from day one, and sets up a refill schedule so cycles are never interrupted by supply. Same-day delivery within Lagos, 48 hours nationwide, and international shipping available.

FAQ
What is everolimus 10mg used for?
It is used for advanced hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer in combination with exemestane after failure of a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, for advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of VEGF-targeted therapy, and for unresectable or metastatic well differentiated neuroendocrine tumours of pancreatic, gastrointestinal or lung origin.
How does everolimus work?
It binds the intracellular protein FKBP-12, and the resulting complex inhibits mTOR complex 1. Protein synthesis and cell cycle progression stall, and production of vascular endothelial growth factor falls, which reduces the tumour’s ability to build its own blood supply.
How should the tablets be taken?
One 10mg tablet once daily at the same time each day. Swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablet. Take it consistently either always with food or always without food.
Why does food consistency matter?
Food changes how much everolimus is absorbed. Switching between taking it with meals and on an empty stomach makes blood levels swing. Choose one pattern and keep to it for the whole course.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you remember within about six hours of your usual time, take it. Otherwise skip that dose and take the next one at the normal time. Never take two tablets to catch up, and tell your oncology team about missed doses.
What is the most common troublesome side effect?
Stomatitis, meaning mouth ulcers and soreness. It affects a large proportion of patients and usually starts in the first few weeks. Alcohol-free mouthwash, soft-bristle brushing and good oral hygiene from day one reduce its severity. Report the first sign rather than waiting.
What is non-infectious pneumonitis?
Everolimus can cause inflammation of lung tissue that is not caused by infection. New or worsening dry cough, breathlessness or chest discomfort must be reported urgently, since it may require dose interruption or corticosteroids.
Does everolimus increase infection risk?
Yes. It is immunosuppressive. Bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoal infections can occur and can be serious, and hepatitis B can reactivate. Report fever, sore throat, cough or any sign of infection promptly. Live vaccines should be avoided.
What effect does it have on blood sugar and cholesterol?
Hyperglycaemia and raised cholesterol and triglycerides are common and often need treatment in their own right. Fasting glucose and a lipid profile should be checked before starting and monitored during treatment.
What blood tests are needed?
Full blood count, renal function including urinary protein, liver function, fasting glucose and lipids at baseline and periodically thereafter, at the frequency your oncologist sets.
Which medicines and foods interact with everolimus?
Everolimus is a CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein substrate with a narrow margin. Strong inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin and ritonavir raise levels sharply. Strong inducers such as rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin and St John’s wort lower them and risk treatment failure. Grapefruit and Seville orange must be avoided entirely. Have your pharmacist review every new medicine, including herbal remedies.
Does everolimus affect wound healing?
Yes. It impairs healing and increases the risk of wound complications. Tell any surgeon or dentist that you are taking it, well before a planned procedure.
Can the dose be reduced if I get side effects?
Yes. Dose reduction to 5mg daily, or temporary interruption, is a normal part of managing everolimus toxicity and is decided by your oncologist. Patients with moderate hepatic impairment start at a reduced dose.
Can everolimus be used in pregnancy?
No. It can cause fetal harm. Effective contraception is required during treatment and for a period afterwards as advised by your specialist, and breastfeeding is not recommended. Everolimus may also reduce male fertility.
Is this the same as Certican?
No. Certican contains the same active ingredient but at 0.25mg, 0.5mg and 0.75mg for preventing organ rejection after transplantation, with blood level monitoring. The 10mg oncology strength and the transplant strengths are never interchangeable. Ask a HubPharm pharmacist if you need the transplant strengths.
Can I buy everolimus 10mg online in Nigeria?
Yes, on prescription. HubPharm Africa is a PCN licensed pharmacy (LAG20247B39C9) and dispenses everolimus with full pharmacist review. We deliver same-day within Lagos, within 48 hours nationwide, and ship internationally.
How should everolimus be stored?
Store below 25°C in the original blister, protected from light and moisture. Keep tablets in the blister until the moment of use. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date on the pack.
Description
Everolimus 10mg Tablets – Full Product Information
Active ingredient: Everolimus 10mg, a selective inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1).
Presentation: 10mg tablets for oral use. Everolimus is also available at 2.5mg and 5mg for oncology dose reduction, and at 0.25mg, 0.5mg and 0.75mg for transplant immunosuppression, which are not interchangeable with this strength.
Indications: Advanced hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer in combination with exemestane after failure of a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor; advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of VEGF-targeted therapy; unresectable or metastatic well differentiated neuroendocrine tumours of pancreatic, gastrointestinal or lung origin.
Legal category: Prescription only medicine. Specialist oncology initiation and supervision required.
How Everolimus Works
Everolimus binds the cytosolic immunophilin FKBP-12. The everolimus-FKBP-12 complex inhibits mTOR complex 1, the convergence point of the PI3K/AKT growth signalling pathway. Downstream, phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein kinase and 4E-BP1 falls, protein synthesis and cell cycle progression are arrested at G1, and production of hypoxia inducible factor and vascular endothelial growth factor declines, reducing tumour angiogenesis. In hormone receptor positive breast cancer, mTOR inhibition also restores sensitivity to endocrine therapy, which is why it is given with exemestane rather than alone.
Dosage and Monitoring
The recommended dose is 10mg once daily, taken at the same time each day, consistently either with or without food. Tablets are swallowed whole with water and must not be chewed or crushed. Management of adverse reactions may require temporary dose interruption or reduction to 5mg daily. Patients with moderate hepatic impairment start at a reduced dose, and severe hepatic impairment requires specialist assessment. Baseline and periodic monitoring of full blood count, renal function and urinary protein, liver function, fasting glucose and lipid profile is required. Treatment continues while clinical benefit is observed or until unacceptable toxicity.
Storage and Handling
Store below 25°C in the original blister, protected from light and moisture. Keep tablets sealed in the blister until immediately before use. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date shown on the packaging. Return unused medicine to a pharmacy for safe disposal rather than placing it in household waste.
Safety Information
Contraindicated in hypersensitivity to everolimus, sirolimus or other rapamycin derivatives, and in pregnancy. Key risks include stomatitis and oral ulceration, non-infectious pneumonitis, immunosuppression with serious bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoal infection including hepatitis B reactivation, hyperglycaemia and new-onset diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, myelosuppression, renal impairment and proteinuria, impaired wound healing, and angioedema, particularly in patients also taking ACE inhibitors. Everolimus is a sensitive CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein substrate: strong inhibitors including azole antifungals, macrolides and protease inhibitors markedly increase exposure, while inducers including rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and St John’s wort reduce it and risk treatment failure. Grapefruit and Seville orange must be avoided. Live vaccines should not be given. Effective contraception is required during and after treatment, and male fertility may be reduced. Increased sensitivity to ultraviolet light warrants sun protection.
