The following is a detailed explanation of the recommended dosage of Vancevi for different indications and patient groups.

1. CMVPrevention in organ transplant patients

Vancevir is often used to preventCMVinfection in patients who have received an organ transplant such as a kidney, liver, or heart. The recommended initial dose for adult patients is 900 mg once daily, continuously. The treatment time usually lasts from 3 months to 12 months. The specific duration needs to be customized according to the patient's immune status and CMV infection risk.

2.Treatment of CMVinfection (applicable to patients with organ transplantation and immunosuppression)

For patients with confirmedCMV infection, the treatment dose may be adjusted based on the severity of the disease. The initial recommended dose for adult patients is also 900 mg once daily, and the course of treatment is generally 3 to 6 weeks until CMV infection is effectively controlled.
