Ganciclovir Sodium Injection 500 mg Powder Vial is a prescription medication used to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in immunocompromised patients. It contains the active ingredient ganciclovir sodium, which works by stopping the reproduction of the CMV virus. The medication is administered as an injectable powder, which is then mixed with sterile water for injection and given intravenously. Ganciclovir Sodium Injection is only available by a healthcare provider and should not be used by people who do not have a confirmed CMV infection. It is typically given in a hospital setting, but may also be given in a doctor's office or clinic. The dosage and frequency of the medication will depend on the individual's condition and response to treatment. Common side effects may include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and decreased white blood cell counts. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a doctor. It may interact with other medications, so it is important to provide a full list of current medications to the healthcare provider before starting treatment with Ganciclovir Sodium Injection.
