Valganciclovir

Valganciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV), especially in people with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients or those with HIV. It works by blocking the virus's ability to multiply, helping to control the infection and prevent complications. The drug is usually taken as a tablet or liquid and requires careful medical supervision because it can affect blood cell counts and cause side effects. Valganciclovir is an important part of managing CMV infections, reducing illness severity and improving patient outcomes.
