"Valcyte takes care of CMV well. I had a SPK transplant that had CMV. I did not have. My dose was 2 tabs 2x for 21 days, then 1 2x for 14 days, then went off. Only drug that treats CMV good. I would not take long term because of stomach pain and resistance to the drug. If future CMV infections should occur, it becomes less effective like any other drug, and the consequences can be dire for us with transplants. Good experience with the drug, though pretty pricey. But life is priceless. Good luck."
