📋Overview
Ganciclovir is an antiviral medication primarily used to combat infections caused by certain herpesviruses. It is most commonly associated with the management of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or organ transplant recipients. The drug works by inhibiting viral DNA replication, helping to control the spread of the virus within the body. Ganciclovir may also be referenced in the context of other herpesvirus-related conditions.
