The Indian pharmacy I am going to use can give me a better price on Rapacam vs Sirolimus. Does anyone know if there is a difference in efficacy or quality between the two?
Rapacan is the Biocon brand name for its sirolimus product.
Sirolimus is the generic name, for rapamycin.
There are many different generic brands of sirolimus, see the list and information here: Rapamycin, Rapamune, Sirolimus and Other Naming Conventions
This is the only lab analysis on biocon rapacan and Zydus sirolimus, we have: Rapamycin / Sirolimus from India, Lab Test Report on Quality / Purity
I have used both, and since both produced the same side effects at high doses, I see little difference.

The major difference between these two is : Sirolimus is the salt or composition name. Rapacan is the Brand name of the medicine.
Sirolimus (basically the salt composition) is the active ingredient found in Rapacan 1mg. Rapacan 1mg is an Indian brand-name medication manufactured by Biocon Limited, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Bangalore.
