Cidofovir is a broad-spectrum antiviral medication used in the treatment of serious viral infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. It is especially effective against cytomegalovirus (CMV), including CMV retinitis in patients with AIDS, and has shown activity against human papillomavirus (HPV) and herpes viruses.
Cidofovir works by inhibiting viral DNA replication, helping reduce the severity of infection and promoting faster recovery. With a well-established safety profile and proven clinical efficacy, Cidofovir remains a trusted option for the management of life-threatening viral infections.
