Cidofovir is an antiviral medication used in conjunction with probenecid to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, a viral eye infection that can affect individuals with AIDS. It works by inhibiting viral replication, which can help prevent vision loss, though it is not a cure. The medication is administered as an intravenous infusion over one hour, typically every one to two weeks, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is essential to follow all medical instructions, including taking probenecid as prescribed and maintaining adequate hydration to support kidney function. This medication should never be injected into the eye. Always inspect the solution for particles or discoloration before use and consult your healthcare provider for complete preparation and administration guidance.
