Product Description:
Aciclovir (ACV), also known as acyclovir, is an antiviral medicine. It is mainly used to treat herpes simplex virus infections, varicella zoster (chickenpox) and herpes zoster (shingles). Other uses include prevention of cytomegalovirus infections following transplant, and severe complications of Epstein-Barr virus infection. It can be taken orally, applied as a cream, or injected.
Broad spectrum antiviral drugs, including purine compounds, in the body into three compound phosphate, interfere with the virus DNA polymerase, inhibit viral DNA replication and antiviral effect into full use. The product is a purine nucleoside derivative, inhibiting DNA synthesis, is 160 times stronger than the anti herpes virus activity of adenosine arabinoside. The virus has a stronger role, as it can be used for the prevention and treatment of viral infection of the skin or mucous membrane, also used for hepatitis b, herpes simplex keratitis, banded chicken pox virus infection.
Acyclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue, which is mainly used for various infections caused by herpes simplex virus, and can be used for primary or recurrent skin, mucous membranes, external genital infections and immunodeficiency in HSV infection. The preferred drug for the treatment of HSV encephalitis is superior to vidarabine in reducing morbidity and mortality. It can also be used for shingles, Epstein-Barr virus, and immune deficiency complicated by varicella and other infections. Used only on the skin, aciclovir has less skin absorption.kin absorption.
