Ganciclovir

Ganciclovir is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Ganciclovir too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

No, you should not stop using Ganciclovir suddenly without talking to your doctor. This is because your symptoms may worsen and your infection may return. Remember, your symptoms may improve and you may feel better before the infection is completely cleared. Stopping the medication too early could allow the spread of the infection and hence, prevent complete healing.

Use of Ganciclovir should be avoided in patients who are allergic to Ganciclovir or any of its components. However, if you are not aware of any allergy, or if you are using Ganciclovir for the first time, consult your doctor.

Keep Ganciclovir in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose off the unused medicine. Keep it away from children and other people to avoid any misuse.

Ganciclovir is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Use it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
