Description Acic aciclovir (acyclovir) 400mg 35 tablets — Made in Poland by Sandoz — Free Delivery

Pharmacological properties

Antiviral agent. active against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (herpes simplex), herpes zoster virus (varicella zoster), Epstein virus - barr, cytomegalovirus.

The antiviral activity of the preparation is highly selective and is due to its competitive interaction with the virus enzyme thymidine kinase. Under the influence of thymidine kinase, the transformation of acyclovir into mono-, di-, and then into acyclovir triphosphate occurs, the latter is incorporated into DNA, which is synthesized for new viruses. Thus, viral DNA is formed, the structure of which contains a defect, leading to inhibition of the replication of new generations of viruses.

After oral administration, acyclovir is partially absorbed in the intestine. Plasma protein binding is 9–33%. The concentration of acyclovir in the CSF is 50% of the concentration of the preparation in the blood plasma.

The only metabolite of the preparation is 9-carboxymethoxymethylguanine. Most of acyclovir is excreted by the kidneys unchanged, 10-15% - as a metabolite. The rate of elimination of the preparation slows down with age, but the half-life does not increase significantly.

With chronic renal failure, the elimination half-life is 19.5 hours; in the case of hemodialysis, the indicator decreases to 5.7 hours, while the concentration in the blood plasma decreases to 60% of the initial value.
