WHAT LIVTENCITY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
LIVTENCITY is an antiviral medicine that contains the active substance
maribavir.
It is a medicine used to treat adults who have had an organ or bone
marrow transplant and developed a
CMV (‘cytomegalovirus’) infection that did not go away or came
back again after taking another
antiviral medicine.
CMV is a virus that a lot of people have without symptoms and normally
just stays in the body
without causing any harm. However, if your immune system is weakened
after you get an organ or
bone marrow transplant, you may be at higher risk of becoming ill from
CMV.
