"As a bone marrow transplant recipient, CMV was my biggest fear. Valganciclovir kept me CMV-negative through the critical first 100 days. The once-daily dosing was manageable even with my other medications. Six months post-transplant and still CMV-free!."

With proven efficacy in both prevention and treatment, Valganciclovir has become the gold standard for CMV management.

More Information

Why is Valganciclovir preferred over IV ganciclovir?

Valganciclovir offers the same antiviral power as IV ganciclovir but in a convenient oral form. It's absorbed 10 times better than oral ganciclovir, allowing patients to receive treatment at home instead of requiring daily IV infusions at a medical facility.

How long will I need to take Valganciclovir?

Duration varies greatly depending on your condition. Transplant patients may take it for 3-6 months for prevention, while those with active CMV infection typically need 2-3 weeks of treatment. Some immunocompromised patients require long-term suppressive therapy.

What precautions should I take while on Valganciclovir?

Valganciclovir can affect blood cell counts and fertility. Regular blood tests are essential. Women should use contraception during treatment and men should use barrier contraception for 90 days after treatment. Always handle tablets carefully and wash hands afterward.

Can I stop taking Valganciclovir if my symptoms improve?

Never stop without your doctor's approval. CMV can reactivate if treatment stops too early, potentially causing serious complications. Your doctor will monitor CMV levels and determine the appropriate treatment duration based on your response.
