Valganciclovir is this antiviral stuff that helps treat CMV retinitis and stops it in its tracks for transplant patients too. It stops the virus from making more of itself by hitting its DNA. You can get this drug in 450 mg tablet form, with a nice coating on them.
Doctors usually say to take 900 mg of this stuff once or twice a day, and it’s best to have it with some food. Each bottle holds 60 tablets. It’s used to keep or get rid of CMV, especially for folks with weak immune systems.
You gotta take this Valganciclovir just like your doc tells you to. Always take these tablets with food to help them work better and keep your tummy happy. Your doc might tweak the dose based on how your kidneys are doing, since this med mostly gets out of your body through the kidneys.
