VALTICLO 450 MG

Valticlo 450mg Tablet contains Valganciclovir as its active ingredient. This medication falls under the category of Antiviral (Non-HIV) drugs. Once inside the body, Valganciclovir is converted into ganciclovir, which is effective against viral infections. It is prescribed for adult patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) who are suffering from cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections affecting the retina. Such infections can often lead to blindness and visual impairments. Additionally, it serves to prevent Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in organ transplant recipients, including those who have received kidney and heart transplants from adults and children infected with the virus.

The use of Valticlo 450mg Tablet is not advised for individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to the drug or any of its ingredients. The safety and efficacy of Valticlo 450mg Tablet for treating CMV infections in non-immunocompromised adults, as well as for congenital or neonatal CMV disease, have not been evaluated, thus it is not recommended.
