Ganciclovir may be administered intravenously, orally, or via intraocular implant. The bioavailability of oral ganciclovir is poor. Cerebrospinal fluid concentrations are approximately 50% of those in serum. The elimination half-life is 4 hours, and the intracellular half-life is prolonged at 16-24 hours. Clearance of the drug is linearly related to creatinine clearance. Ganciclovir is readily cleared by hemodialysis. [Pg.1072]

In a rare cytomegalovirus comparison trial, a ganciclovir insert (an intraocular implant) plus oral ganciclovir was compared with intravenous cidofovir (18). Based on data from 61 patients (the trial was stopped early owing to low recruitment), cidofovir was associated with a raised serum creatinine concentration of 142 pmol/l (1.6 mg/dl) or greater (0.48 per person-year), 3+ or greater proteinuria (0.29 per person-year), uveitis (0.35 per person-year), and neutropenia (0.11 per person-year). [Pg.772]

Intravitreal ganciclovir injections have been used in some patients, and an intraocular sustained-release ganciclovir implant (vitrasert) is more effective than systemic dosing in suppressing retinitis progression. [Pg.291]

In advanced HIV disease, oral ganciclovir (1000 mg three times daily) may reduce the risk of CMV disease, and possibly mortality, in those not receiving didanosine. The addition of oral high-dose ganciclovir (1500 mg three times daily) to the intraocular ganciclovir implant further delays the time to retinitis progression and reduces the risk of new CMV disease and, possibly, the risk of Kaposi s sarcoma. [Pg.721]
