Mode of Action

Valganciclovir is an L-valyl ester (prodrug) of ganciclovir that exists as a mixture of 2 diastereomers. After oral admin, both diastereomers are rapidly converted to ganciclovir by intestinal and hepatic esterases. Ganciclovir is a synthetic analogue of 2'-deoxyguanosine, which inhibits replication of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) in cell culture and in vivo.

Interaction

Convulsions may occur if taken concomitantly w/ imipenem-cilastatin. Increased exposure w/ probenecid. Increased risk of neutropenia and anaemia w/ zidovudine. May increase plasma concentrations of didanosine. Increased risk of neutropenia and leucopenia w/ mycophenolate mofetil. Increased risk of peripheral neuropathy w/ zalcitabine. Enhanced toxicity w/ other drugs that inhibit replication of rapidly dividing cells (e.g. dapsone, vincristine, vinblastine, amphotericin B, trimethoprim/sulfa combinations, nucleoside analogues, hydroxyurea), cidofovir, foscamet.
