foscarnet and Viral Diseases

foscarnet has been researched along with Viral Diseases in 15 studies

Foscarnet: An antiviral agent used in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Foscarnet also shows activity against human herpesviruses and HIV.
phosphonoformic acid : Phosphoric acid in which one of the hydroxy groups is replaced by a carboxylic acid group. It is used as the trisodium salt as an antiviral agent in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV retinitis, an inflamation of the retina that can lead to blindness) and as an alternative to ganciclovir for AIDS patients who require concurrent antiretroviral therapy but are unable to tolerate ganciclovir due to haematological toxicity.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The DNA polymerase of human herpes viruses, including cytomegalovirus (CMV), and the reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are selectively inhibited in vitro by the pyrophosphate analogue foscarnet."6.17Foscarnet. A reappraisal of its antiviral activity, pharmacokinetic properties and therapeutic use in immunocompromised patients with viral infections. ( Bryson, HM; Wagstaff, AJ, 1994)
" Herpes virus type 1 and rarely type 2 may lead to painful and resistant oral ulcers, and systemic treatment with acyclovir, valaciclovir or famciclovir is indicated."4.79Viral lesions of the mouth in HIV-infected patients. ( Itin, PH; Lautenschlager, S, 1997)
" These questions concern appropriate routes of administration for antiviral compounds, optimal dosage regimens, risks of long-term prophylaxis, and the emergence of resistant organisms."2.66Antiviral chemotherapy and chemoprophylaxis. ( Dolin, R, 1985)
" In paediatric patients this may be difficult to achieve due to lack of pharmacokinetic studies, administration of small doses, changes in body composition, continuous growth, and development and maturation of organs and systems."2.42The pharmacokinetics of antiviral therapy in paediatric patients. ( Eksborg, S, 2003)
" In patients with renal insufficiency, careful dosage adjustment is mandatory to optimize drug exposure and reduce the risk for adverse events."2.41Anti-viral drugs in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). ( Deray, G; Issad, B; Izzedine, H; Launay-Vacher, V, 2002)
"Several new agents for treating viral infections have been developed in recent years."2.40Antiviral agents for non-human immunodeficiency virus infections. ( Keating, MR, 1999)
