About
Natclovir 500mg Injection contains the active ingredient Ganciclovir and is used to treat and prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. It is prescribed for CMV infections in AIDS patients and to prevent CMV infections in individuals who have received an organ transplant from a donor infected with the virus. Although CMV can affect anyone, it primarily impacts people with weakened immune systems. The virus can infect various parts of the body, including the retina at the back of the eye, potentially causing eye-related issues.
