About this active substance

Maribavir is an antiviral medication used for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in transplant patients. It works by inhibiting the UL97 enzyme of the virus, preventing its replication.

The medication is taken orally, usually in tablet form, and is intended for patients who do not respond to other antiviral therapies. It is essential to follow the doctor's instructions to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, or taste changes. In rare cases, allergic reactions or elevated liver enzymes may occur.

Maribavir is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to this medication or those taking drugs that interact with the UL97 enzyme.
