When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Cidofovir may cause neutropenia (20% in clinical trials). Therapy with cidofovir should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting neutropenia or those receiving concomitant drugs with myelosuppressive effects. With some drugs (e.g., zidovudine or AZT), a temporary interruption of therapy or a reduction in dosage may be necessary on days of cidofovir administration. Close monitoring of neutrophil count is recommended during therapy with cidofovir. Some patients may be candidates for granulocyte colony stimulating factor.
