"Have been using sirolimus 2 mg every day for 20 years now, since 2005, following a liver transplant. Has been great with no obvious side effects, unless possibly diarrhea on occasion. Just about every medicine can cause diarrhea. I would not be comfortable trying any other substitute when I am so pleased with this medicine."

"Been taking sirolimus for 13 years for a kidney transplant. I have been getting 24-hour headaches, blurred vision, and a general feeling of being ill. I’m afraid to try something else though."

"Since starting the medication, I have multiple episodes of constipation followed by diarrhea. Often, there is bloating and lots of gas. The medicine is really rough on your stomach. Use with caution."
