Cidofovir, sold under the brand name Vistide, is an antiviral used to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in people with HIV/AIDS.[1] Is also used for herpes simplex virus that is resistant to acyclovir, monkeypox, and certain complications of smallpox vaccination.[1] It is generally given by injection into a vein.[1]
Common side effects include kidney problems, nausea, fever, low white blood cells, headache, rash, hair loss, diarrhea, and heart burn.[1] Other side effects may include pancreatitis, male infertility, and hearing loss.[3] It is given with intravenous fluids and probenecid to decrease the risk of kidney problems.[3] There are concerns that use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It works by blocking the DNA polymerase of the virus.[3]
Cidofovir was approved for medical use in the United States 1996.[4] It is available as a generic medication.[3] In the United States 375 mg costs about 215 USD as of 2021.[5]
