1. What is Everolimus Viatris and what is it used for

Everolimus is a cancer medication that contains the active ingredient everolimus. Everolimus reduces blood supply to the tumor and delays the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Everolimus is used to treat adult patients with:

  • Advanced breast cancer with hormone receptor-positive in postmenopausal women, in whom other treatments (designated as "non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors") cannot continue to keep the disease under control. It is administered together with a type of medication called exemestane, a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, which is used for hormonal treatment of cancer.
  • Advanced tumors known as neuroendocrine tumors that originate in the stomach, intestine, lung, or pancreas. It is administered if the tumors are not operable and do not produce excess specific hormones or other natural substances related to them.
  • Advanced kidney cancer (advanced renal cell carcinoma), when other treatments (designated as anti-VEGF treatment) have not helped to stop their disease.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Everolimus Viatris

Everolimus will only be prescribed to you by an experienced doctor in cancer treatment. Follow all the doctor's instructions carefully. They may be different from the general information contained in this prospectus. If you have any doubts about everolimus or the reason why you have been prescribed this medication, consult your doctor.

Do not take Everolimus Viatris:

  • If you are allergicto everolimus, related substances such as sirolimus or temserolimus, or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Everolimus Viatris:

  • If you have liver problems or have had any disease that may have affected your liver. In this case, your doctor may prescribe a different dose of everolimus.
  • If you have diabetes (high blood sugar levels). Everolimus may increase blood sugar levels and worsen diabetes mellitus. This may require treatment with insulin and/or oral antidiabetic medications. Inform your doctor if you notice excessive thirst or if you need to urinate more frequently.
  • If you need to receive a vaccine while taking everolimus.
  • If you have high cholesterol levels. Everolimus may increase cholesterol and/or other blood fats.
  • If you have recently undergone major surgery or have an open wound after surgery. Everolimus may increase the risk of wound healing problems.
  • If you have an infection. You may need to treat your infection before starting everolimus treatment.
  • If you have previously had hepatitis B, as it may reactivate during everolimus treatment (see section 4 "Possible side effects").
  • If you have received or are about to receive radiation therapy.

Everolimus may also:

-Weaken your immune system. Therefore, you may be at risk of infection

while taking everolimus. If you have a fever or other signs of infection, consult your doctor. Some infections can be serious and fatal.

-Affect kidney function. Therefore, your doctor will monitor your kidney function while taking everolimus.

-Causing difficulty breathing, coughing, and fever.

-Cause mouth ulcers and sores. Your doctor may need to interrupt or discontinue Everolimus Viatris treatment. You may need treatment with a mouthwash, gel, or other products. Some mouthwashes and gels may worsen ulcers, so do not try any without consulting your doctor first. Your doctor may restart Everolimus Viatris treatment at the same dose or a lower dose.

-Cause radiation therapy complications. Severe radiation therapy complications (such as difficulty breathing, nausea, diarrhea, skin rash, and mouth, gum, and throat pain), including fatal cases, have been observed in some patients taking everolimus at the same time as receiving radiation therapy or taking everolimus shortly after receiving radiation therapy. Radiation recall syndrome (presenting with skin redness or lung inflammation at the site of previous radiation therapy) has also been reported in patients who had received radiation therapy in the past.

Inform your doctor if you are scheduled to receive radiation therapy soon, or if you have received radiation therapy previously.

Inform your doctorif you experience these symptoms.

During treatment, you will have blood tests performed periodically. These tests will determine the number of blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets) to check if everolimus is having an undesirable effect on these cells. You will also have blood tests to monitor kidney function (creatinine level), liver function (transaminase level), and blood sugar and cholesterol levels. These tests are done because these may be affected by everolimus treatment.

Children and adolescents

Everolimus should not be administered to children or adolescents (under 18 years old).

Other medications and Everolimus Viatris

Everolimus may affect how other medications work. If you are taking other medications at the same time as everolimus, your doctor may change the dose of everolimus or the other medications.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication.

The following may increase the risk of adverse effects with everolimus:

  • Ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, or fluconazole and other antifungal medications

used to treat fungal infections.

  • Clarithromycin, telithromycin, or erythromycin, antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections.
  • Ritonavir and other medications used to treat HIV/AIDS.
  • Verapamil or diltiazem, used to treat heart problems or high blood pressure.
  • Dronedarone, a medication used to help regulate your heart rhythm.
  • Ciclosporin, a medication used to prevent your body from rejecting transplanted organs.
  • Cannabidiol(its use includes, among others, the treatment of epilepsy seizures).
  • Imatinib, used to inhibit the growth of abnormal cells.
  • Inhibitors of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (such as ramipril), used to treat high blood pressure or other cardiovascular problems.
  • Nefazodone, used to treat depression.

The following may reduce the effectiveness of everolimus:

  • Rifampicin, used to treat tuberculosis (TB).
  • Efavirenz or nevirapine, used to treat HIV/AIDS.
  • St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), a herbal product used to treat depression and other conditions.
  • Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid used to treat a wide range of situations, including inflammatory or immune problems.
  • Phenobarbital, carbamazepine, or phenytoin and other antiepileptic medications used to control seizures.

You should avoid using these medications during everolimus treatment. If you are taking any of them, your doctor may prescribe a different medication or change your everolimus dose.
