Consumer:

Cidofovir is associated with dose-dependent nephrotoxicity, which is minimized by adequate hydration. One liter of normal saline should be infused over 1 to 2 hours prior to each dose of cidofovir in normal adults. Therapy with cidofovir should be administered cautiously in patients who are dehydrated. These patients may be candidates for an additional liter, given over 1 to 3 hours upon the initiation or completion of cidofovir infusion.
