Valganciclovir 900mg Tablets $30

So Valganciclovir, it’s this antiviral med that’s used to treat a thing called CMV retinitis and also to keep people from catching it if they’ve just had a transplant. It kind of blocks the virus from copying its DNA. You can get it in these tablets that are like a little film coating and they’re 450 mg.

They usually tell you to take 900 mg of it either once or twice a day, and make sure you eat something at the same time. One bottle has 60 tabs. It’s kind of a prodrug, which means your body changes it into ganciclovir, and that’s what actually attacks the CMV.

It’s like a must-have for treating CMV after someone gets a new organ, especially if it’s a kidney, heart, or lung. How long you gotta take it might change depending on how bad the infection is and how your body’s dealing with it. Oh, and you could get some side effects like tummy troubles, a weaken immune system, and kidney damage.

Also, it’s used to help manage CMV in people with HIV/AIDS who’ve got a weak immune system. You gotta keep an eye on your kidney function when you’re on this med.
