Thus, формируется “дефектная” вирусная ДНК, which leads to suppression of new generations of virus replication.

Pregnancy and lactation

The use of acyclovir during pregnancy possible in cases, when the intended benefits to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

IN experimental studies shown in animal, What is acyclovir penetrates through the placental barrier.

Cautions

Not recommended for use in heavy human kidney function.

It should be taken into account, that when applying acyclovir may develop acute renal failure due to sedimentation of crystals of acyclovir, that is particularly likely when the rapid on/in the introduction, simultaneous use of nefrotoksicskih drugs, in patients with the human kidney and with little water load.

When applying acyclovir should monitor kidney function (determination of the level of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in the blood plasma).

Treatment of elderly patients should be carried out with sufficient water load increases and under the supervision of a physician, tk. This category of patients increases the half-life of acyclovir.

When treating genital herpes should avoid sexual intercourse or use condoms, tk. the use of acyclovir does not prevents transmission of the virus to partners.

Acyclovir is in the form of dosage forms for the exterior should not be applied to mucous membranes of the oral cavity, eye, vagina.

Drug Interactions

Together with the use of Probenecid kanalzevu secretion reduces acyclovir and thus increases the concentration in the blood plasma and the half-life of acyclovir.

If you are applying to aziklovira with nefrotoksičeskimi drugs increases the risk of nefrotoksicski action (especially in patients with impaired renal function).

Enhancing effect of acyclovir notes while appointing immunostimulators.

When mixing solutions must take into account the alkaline reaction of acyclovir for the on/in the introduction (pH 11).
