Clinical studies of valganciclovir tablets in AIDS patients infected with CMV retinitis have shown that valganciclovir hydrochloride tablets and intravenous ganciclovir are equally effective in the induction treatment of CMV retinitis. In the study, patients with newly diagnosed CMV retinitis were randomly assigned to the vancevir group or the intravenous ganciclovir group for induction therapy. The proportion of patients with progression of CMV retinitis at week four was the same in both groups. After induction therapy, both groups of patients in the study continued to receive maintenance therapy with Vancevir tablets 900 mg per day. The mean (median) time from randomization to progression of CMV retinitis was 226 (160) days and 219 (125) days in patients who received Vancevir tablets or intravenous ganciclovir induction therapy followed by Vancevir tablets as maintenance therapy, respectively.

From this point of view, the efficacy of Vancevi in treating CMV retinitis is relatively ideal. Patients must strictly follow the doctor's instructions and take the medication on time, so that the efficacy of the drug can be maximized.
