A
Feedback:
Cidofovir, which is given by IV infusion, reaches peak levels at the end of the infusion; in studies, it was cleared from the system within 15 minutes after the infusion was completed. It is excreted unchanged in the urine and must be given with probenecid to increase renal clearance of the drug. Paroxetine hydrochloride is Paxil, an antidepressant; Penciclovir is an antiviral cream; Prostigmin is an anticholinesterase agent used in myasthenia gravis. None of these drugs are used with cidofovir except for probenecid.
