Ganciclovir is an antiviral medication used for the treatment and prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS or transplant recipients. It works by inhibiting viral DNA replication.

The medication is available as an injectable solution or oral capsules, and treatment must be administered under the supervision of a specialist. Ganciclovir is effective in reducing viral load and preventing severe complications.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, decreased white blood cell count, and fatigue. It is important for patients to be monitored to prevent hematologic toxicity.
