About
Anvimo 480mg Tablet is an antiviral drug containing the active ingredient letermovir. It belongs to the class of antiviral agents known as cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA terminase inhibitors. This medication is mainly used to prevent CMV infection in patients who have recently undergone an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and are at increased risk of CMV reactivation.
Anvimo 480mg Tablet works by blocking the CMV DNA terminase complex, an essential component for the virus to replicate. It is prescribed for CMV-seropositive adult patients after transplantation to lower the risk of viral complications. However, it is not intended to treat active CMV infections.
Patients must take this medication with caution. It should not be used by anyone allergic to letermovir or its ingredients. It is also contraindicated with certain medications due to potentially serious drug interactions. Special care is advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with liver problems, and individuals who consume alcohol.
