Ganciclovir is an antiviral drug used to treat infections caused by certain types of viruses. It is primarily used to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, which can cause serious complications in people with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or those who have had an organ transplant. Ganciclovir is also used to treat other viral infections, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV). Ganciclovir is available in both oral and intravenous formulations. It is typically administered as a prophylactic to prevent CMV infections in people with weakened immune systems, and as a treatment for active CMV infections. Ganciclovir is also used to treat HSV and VZV infections, although it is not as effective as other antiviral drugs for these infections. Ganciclovir is marketed by several pharmaceutical companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, and Novartis. It is also available as a generic drug in some countries. Show Less Read more
