Val Tablet

Val Tablet

Val Tablet is prescribed to adult patients with AIDS who have contracted cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis due to CMV infection. It’s also given to those who’ve had organ transplants from people who were infected with cytomegalovirus.

You should take Val Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Even if you feel better, continue taking the medication for the whole duration. If you forget to take a dosage, just take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for the following dosage, however, it is best to forgo the missed one and resume your usual dosing plan. Do not increase your dosage. If you’re taking this medication, it’s important to stay hydrated so that you don’t risk dehydration or kidney damage.

Fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, anaemia, low white blood cell and low platelet level are some of the most prevalent adverse effects that might occur. If any of these negative effects last for more than a few days, you should let your doctor know. If you are pregnant, intending to become pregnant, or are nursing, you should consult your doctor.

Indication

Benefits

Cytomegalovirus Infection
Cytomegalovirus infection is a common virus infection that may or may not cause any signs, such as fever and tiredness. If you have a severe infection, you might have problems with your eyes, brain, or other internal systems. This virus is spread by sexual and nonsexual contact with body fluids from people who don’t have strong immune systems or who have had a transplant. Val Tablet stops the virus that causes the infection from making additional replication and treats the infection. To get the most out of it, keep taking it exactly as the doctor prescribed you to.

Side effects

Most side effects don’t need to be treated by a doctor, and they go away as your body adapts to the medicine. You should consult your doctor if the symptoms continue or if you are concerned.
