Product Introduction
Cytomevir 500mg Injection contains the active ingredient Ganciclovir. It is used to treat and prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. It is indicated for treating CMV infections in patients with AIDS and for preventing CMV infections in patients who have received an organ transplant from a donor with this virus. Cytomegalovirus can affect anyone but is predominantly observed in patients with immunosuppression. It may affect any part of the body, including the retina of the eye, potentially causing visual complications.
