This antiviral, Valganciclovir, helps treat CMV retinitis and stops it from happening in transplant patients. It stops the virus from making copies of itself by keeping its DNA from doing its thing. It comes as pills with a strength of 450 mg each, all covered with a shiny coat.
Adults usually take 900 mg once or twice a day, but it’s always good to have food nearby. This medication is supplied in bottles containing 60 tablets. The dose might change depending on how bad the infection is and how healthy the person is in general.
It’s really important to take the exact amount the doc tells you. Valganciclovir is kind of like a placeholder. It turns into something called ganciclovir in your liver, and that’s the part that actually zaps the CMV.
Side effects can happen, so keep an eye out for any weird stuff or changes in how you feel.
