Dizziness, confusion, or weakness may occur. Do not drive until you feel alert and your specialist agrees.

  • Avoid contact with people who have serious infections when your blood counts are low.
  • Keep all laboratory and specialist appointments.

Dosage

Overdose

Taking too much may cause severe low blood counts, infection, kidney problems, seizures, or confusion. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember unless your specialist advises otherwise. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Ganciclovir is activated inside infected cells and blocks viral genetic replication, slowing the growth of cytomegalovirus.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can increase bone-marrow, kidney, or fertility toxicity with ganciclovir. Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements. In particular, mention other antivirals, chemotherapy, medicines that suppress immunity, and medicines that affect kidney function.

Interactions with food items

Take with food if your specialist advises it to improve absorption or stomach comfort. Avoid alcohol if it worsens nausea or dehydration.
