Valganciclovir hydrochloride (Valcyte, manufactured by Roche) is an antiviral medication used to treat cytomegalovirus infections. As the L-valyl ester of ganciclovir, it is actually a prodrug for ganciclovir.[1] After oral administration, it is rapidly converted to ganciclovir by intestinal and hepatic esterases.

Administration

Orally, available in 450 mg pink tablets. For patients who have received a transplant, the recommended dose is 900 mg once daily, starting within 10 days of transplantation and continuing until 100 days post transplantation. HIV patients might initially need to take the dose 900 mg twice daily for the first 3 weeks. [2]
[edit] Pharmacokinetics

1. Oral bioavailability is approximately 60%. Fatty foods significantly increase the bioavailability and the peak level in the serum.
2. It takes about 2 hours to reach maximum concentrations in the serum.
3. Valganciclovir is eliminated as ganciclovir in the urine, with a half-life of about 4 hours in people with normal kidney function.
4. The mechanism of this drug is activation via thymidine kinsase enzyme. The phosphotransferase enzyme can likewase activate valganciclovir.

* Gastrointestinal: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain.
* Central nervous system: fever, headache, insomnia, paresthesia, and peripheral neuropathy.
