Isoniazid is an antibiotic that fights bacteria.

Isoniazid is used to treat and to prevent tuberculosis (TB). You may need to take other TB medicines in combination with isoniazid.

When treating active TB, isoniazid must be used with other TB medicines. Tuberculosis can become resistant to treatment if isoniazid is used alone. Take all your medicines as prescribed by your doctor.

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

• Generic Name: sirolimus
• Dosage Forms: oral solution, tablets
• Other Brand Names: Rapamune

Rapamune weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it.

Rapamune is used with other medicines to prevent organ rejection after a kidney transplant.

Rapamune is also given without other medicines to treat a rare lung disorder called lymphangioleiomyomatosis (lim-FAN-gee-oh-LYE-oh-MYE-oh-ma-TOE-sis). This disorder happens mostly in women and causes lung tumors that are not cancerous but can affect breathing.

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