Valganciclovir (Valganciclovir) is an antiviral drug primarily used to treat infections caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMVis a common virus that can cause serious infections, especially in patients with suppressed immune systems (such as those who have received an organ transplant, a bone marrow transplant, or HIV infection). Vansevir (valganciclovir) works by inhibiting viral DNA synthesis, thereby preventing viral replication and spread.

Valganciclovir (valganciclovir) is currently on the market in China, but it has not yet been included in medical insurance. Patients can buy it domestically, but the price is relatively high, about more than 10,000 yuan. For specific prices, please consult the local hospital pharmacy.

Valganciclovir (valganciclovir) is indicated primarily for the prevention and treatment ofCMV infection in high-risk patients. For patients receiving organ transplants, it is important to prevent CMV infection because the virus can cause graft rejection or other serious complications.
