Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains one of the most challenging complications in transplant
medicine, particularly among patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation (HSCT). For compounding pharmacies in Dubai, the increasing demand for
advanced antiviral solutions opens a key opportunity—especially with the introduction of
Letermovir, a novel antiviral agent that is redefining CMV prophylaxis worldwide.
MedicaPharma now offers GMP-grade Letermovir, making it available for pharmacies seeking
high-quality raw materials to serve transplant centres, immunocompromised patient populations,
and specialists across the UAE. Letermovir’s unique pharmacological profile, along with its clinical
relevance and expanding role in global transplant protocols, makes it a strategic product for
forward-thinking pharmacies looking to lead in this high-value therapeutic area.

What Is Letermovir?
Letermovir is a highly targeted antiviral medication developed specifically for prophylaxis of CMV
infection in adult HSCT recipients. Unlike traditional antivirals such as ganciclovir or valganciclovir,
which act on viral DNA polymerase, Letermovir targets the CMV terminase complex—a critical
component in the viral DNA packaging process. This novel mechanism of action disrupts viral
replication without affecting human host enzymes, leading to improved efficacy and a dramatically
better safety profile.
Letermovir was first approved by the European Medicines Agency and the FDA for use in CMV-seropositive adult HSCT patients, following strong results from pivotal Phase III trials. It is now
incorporated into many international transplant guidelines, and its availability is expanding in new
markets where advanced transplant procedures are becoming more common—including Dubai
and the broader Gulf region.

Why Letermovir Matters in the Dubai Market
Dubai has positioned itself as a regional hub for advanced healthcare, including transplant
medicine. With continued investment in tertiary care and high-acuity treatment centres, the
demand for cutting-edge antiviral prophylaxis is only expected to grow.
CMV infection remains a major cause of post-transplant morbidity and mortality. Traditional
antivirals, while effective, are often associated with significant toxicities, including bone marrow
suppression and renal impairment. These side effects can delay engraftment or necessitate dose
reductions that compromise efficacy.
Letermovir changes the equation. With its favourable tolerability profile, it enables clinicians to
reduce the burden of CMV without compromising the overall transplant outcome. For
compounding pharmacies, this represents a rare opportunity to supply a high-value molecule that
supports both patient outcomes and institutional treatment protocols.

Clinical Advantages of Letermovir
Letermovir’s impact on transplant care is supported by a strong foundation of clinical evidence.
Studies have shown that patients receiving Letermovir experience significantly lower rates of CMV
reactivation compared to those receiving placebo or older therapies. Moreover, it allows for early,
sustained prophylaxis without the need for growth factor support or aggressive monitoring of
haematologic parameters.
Its pharmacokinetics also make it an ideal candidate for compounding. Letermovir is suitable for
both oral and intravenous formulations, with predictable bioavailability and minimal drug-drug
interactions. This allows compounding pharmacies to offer flexible solutions tailored to the clinical
setting, whether for hospital inpatients or outpatient transplant follow-up care.
Letermovir can also be compounded into various dosage forms for special patient populations,
including those who are NPO (nil per os), paediatric, or require highly individualised dosing. This
versatility increases its utility across a range of clinical scenarios, expanding the customer base
for pharmacies.
