Description
What Is Valcyte Used For
Valganciclovir is the generic name of Valcyte; an antiviral prodrug of ganciclovir with improved bioavailability. When Valcyte is absorbed, it changes to ganciclovir to stop the DNA polymerase needed by the cytomegalovirus virus from replicating. Valcyte for CMV is prescribed to prevent cytomegalovirus CMV infection in people who receive organ transplants. Untreated infection can lead to severe conditions such as retinitis, an infection of the eyes that can lead to blindness. This medication slows down the growth of the virus and prevents the spread of infection in other parts of the body. This medication can also treat CMV retinitis in patients with advanced HIV disease or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome AIDS. This medication controls CMV and lessens the risk of blindness, but it is not a cure for CMV disease.
A clinical trial found out that this medicine can be used in chronic fatigue syndrome CFS; those patients who failed to be treated in Valrex respond quickly to Valcytes abling to return to full-time activities; however, there are minimal side effects (check on side effects part).
