Detailed Information

Introduction

Acovalovir Tablet is an antiviral medication used to treat and prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. It contains the active ingredient valganciclovir, which your body converts into ganciclovir—a powerful antiviral agent that stops virus growth. This medication is primarily prescribed for adults with AIDS who have CMV infections affecting the retina (the light-sensitive tissue in the eye), which can cause serious vision problems and blindness if left untreated. Acovalovir Tablet is also used to prevent CMV infection in both adults and children who have received an organ transplant from a donor with CMV. By inhibiting viral DNA synthesis, this medication helps protect your vision and reduces the risk of severe CMV-related complications following transplant surgery.

Key points

  • Active ingredient valganciclovir is converted to ganciclovir in the body
  • Treats and prevents cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in immunocompromised patients
  • Particularly important for preventing CMV retinitis (eye infection) in AIDS patients and post-transplant patients
  • Requires regular blood monitoring and careful dosage adjustment for kidney function

Therapeutic Uses

  • Treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis (eye infection) in adults with AIDS
  • Prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in organ transplant recipients (adults and children)

How it Works

Acovalovir Tablet works by being rapidly converted by liver enzymes into ganciclovir, which is the active antiviral form. Once in your system, ganciclovir stops the growth of cytomegalovirus by blocking viral DNA synthesis—the process the virus uses to replicate and spread. This action prevents the virus from multiplying and reduces the severity of CMV infections, protecting your eyes and other organs from damage caused by this opportunistic virus.

How to Take

Take Acovalovir Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The correct dosage and duration depend on your age, body weight, kidney function, and the specific condition being treated. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on blood test results and how well your kidneys are working.
