Foscarnet is an antiviral medicine given through an IV infusion into a vein. It treats infections caused by viruses like cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV). It does not cure these infections, but helps control and slow them down. It does not kill the virus, so it may still be possible to spread it to others. It will not treat colds, the flu, or bacterial infections.
