    Glossary Cidofovir

    antiviral drug used to treat certain viral infections

    Cidofovir is an antiviral medication primarily used to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems, such as those with AIDS. It works by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase, which prevents the virus from replicating. While not directly related to hair or alopecia, its use in immunocompromised patients can sometimes intersect with broader health concerns, including those affecting the skin and hair.
