Product Introduction
Cymgal 450mg Tablet is an antiviral medication containing the active ingredient Valganciclovir, which belongs to the non-HIV antiviral drug class. Valganciclovir is converted to Ganciclovir in the body, where it works to combat viral infections. The medication is used to treat Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections affecting the retina in adults with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). CMV retinal infection frequently causes vision impairment and blindness. It also prevents Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in patients who have received organ transplants from CMV-infected donors in both adults and children.
Do not take this medication if you are allergic to Valganciclovir, Ganciclovir, or any other ingredients in the formulation. Inform your doctor if you have a low blood cell count (WBC, RBC, or platelets). Notify your doctor if you have undergone radiotherapy or haemodialysis (treatment to remove wastes and water from blood) or if you have kidney conditions. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Use effective contraception during treatment and afterwards—women should use contraception for 30 days following treatment, whilst men should use condoms for 90 days during and after treatment. Discuss fertility concerns with your doctor.
Your doctor will adjust the dosage of Cymgal 450mg Tablet if you have kidney conditions. Your doctor may conduct regular blood tests to monitor blood cell counts whilst taking this medication.
