WHAT VISTIDE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
VISTIDE IS USED TO TREAT AN EYE INFECTION CALLED CMV RETINITIS IN
PATIENTS WITH AIDS (ACQUIRED
IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME).
Vistide will not cure CMV retinitis but may improve your condition
by delaying progression of the disease.
The safety and efficacy of Vistide has not been demonstrated in
diseases other than CMV retinitis in
patients with AIDS.
Vistide must be administered by a healthcare professional (doctor or
nurse) in a hospital setting.
WHAT IS CMV RETINITIS?
CMV retinitis is an eye infection caused by a virus named
cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV attacks the
retina of the eye and may cause loss of vision, and eventually lead to
blindness. Patients with AIDS
are at high risk of developing CMV retinitis or other forms of CMV
disease such as colitis (an
inflammatory bowel disease). Treatment for CMV retinitis is necessary
to reduce the potential for
blindness.
Vistide is an antiviral medicine which blocks the replication of CMV
by interfering with viral DNA
production.
