How Siroboon 2mg Tablet Works
Siroboon 2mg Tablet contains Sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor immunosuppressant. It works by reducing immune cell activity, which helps lower the chance that the body will attack or reject a transplanted kidney.
Because it suppresses the immune system, patients using Siroboon may have a higher risk of infections and should follow medical monitoring carefully.
