Benefits of Natclovir 250 Ganciclovir Capsules
Effective Antiviral Activity: Provides targeted antiviral treatment against CMV infections.
Prevention of Complications: Helps in preventing severe complications and progression of CMV infections.
Reduced Viral Load: Inhibits viral replication, leading to a reduction in viral load and symptom severity.
Improved Patient Outcomes: Contributes to better clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients with CMV infections.
Mechanism of Action of Natclovir 250 Ganciclovir Capsules
Ganciclovir works by:
Inhibiting Viral DNA Synthesis: Ganciclovir is a nucleoside analogue that interferes with viral DNA polymerase, inhibiting the synthesis of viral DNA.
Reducing Viral Replication: By blocking DNA replication, Ganciclovir limits the replication of CMV, controlling the spread of the virus within the body.
Preventing Viral Assembly: Disruption of DNA synthesis prevents the assembly of new viral particles, reducing the infection load.
