Foscarnet Sodium is a potent antiviral medication known for its efficacy in inhibiting viral DNA polymerase. Chemically, it is a trisodium phosphonoformate hexahydrate, designed to interfere with the replication processes of various viruses. This pharmacologically active compound is especially renowned for its role in treating cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients, such as those with AIDS or undergoing immunosuppressive therapies. Additionally, Foscarnet Sodium is employed as a second-line treatment for acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. Its unique mechanism acts directly on viral enzymes, blocking the phosphorylation process necessary for DNA chain elongation. Clinicians and healthcare professionals value Foscarnet Sodium for its broad-spectrum antiviral capabilities and its critical role in managing challenging viral infections where conventional antiviral agents may fall short.
