Gamifant is used together with a medicine called dexamethasone to treat hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare disease that is sometimes inherited. HLH causes your immune system to attack healthy blood cells, which can lead to serious or life-threatening side effects on your spleen or liver. This medicine is for use in adults and children as young as newborn.

Gamifant is given after other treatments did not work or have stopped working.

Gamifant may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

• Dosage Forms: tablet
• Other Brand Names: Zortress, Afinitor, Afinitor Disperz

Zortress (everolimus) lowers your body's immune system. The immune system helps your body fight infections. The immune system can also fight or "reject" a transplanted organ such as a liver or kidney. This is because the immune system treats the new organ as an invader.

The Zortress brand of everolimus is used to prevent organ rejection after a kidney or liver transplant. Zortress is used together with cyclosporine, steroids, and other medications.

Afinitor is another brand of everolimus used to treat certain types of cancer. This medication guide provides information only about about Zortress.
