"I was diagnosed in 2018 with CMV anterior uveitis. I started valcyte 900 mg twice daily for 2 weeks then was tapered to 450mg twice daily for 2 months then 450mg once daily for 6 months but once I stopped the medication the symptoms flare again ( blurred vision and severe headache with high ocular pressure almost 50 mmHg ). The worst thing in this medication is its side effects for example it lowers the WBC, causes infertility and I was getting sick easily; mood changes and last thing is sometimes this medication may cause stomachache."
