CIDNAVIR INJECTION

CIDNAVIR INJECTION is used to treat CMV retinitis, an eye infection that affects AIDS patients. Cytomegalovirus causes an eye infection known as CMV retinitis (CMV).

Nausea, vomiting, headache, hair loss, weakness, fever, chills, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, inflammation of the eye, and reduced pressure in the eyes are the common side effects of CIDNAVIR INJECTION.

CIDNAVIR INJECTION inhibits viral DNA polymerase, which produces new viral RNA and DNA in infected cells. It is taken up intracellularly by active transport or fluid-phase endocytosis to exert its antiviral actions.

Vistide is the brand name of CIDNAVIR INJECTION, a topical or injectable antiviral medication used for CMV retinitis (a retina infection of the eye) in people with AIDS.
