Composition

The active ingredient is aciclovir (1 g of ointment contains 25 mg acyclovir).

Excipients: polyethylene glycol 1500, polyethylene glycol 400, propylene glycol, emulsifier No. 1.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to acyclovir, valacyclovir, propylene glycol or other components of the preparation.

Mode of application

The preparation is intended for external use only.

For children over 12 years of age and adults, the ointment should be applied 5 times a day at approximately 4-hour intervals, excluding at night. It is important to start treatment as soon as possible at the onset of the infection, ideally during the prodromal or erythema stage. You can start treatment in the later stages - papules or bladder.

Treatment should be continued for at least 4 days. If healing has not occurred, treatment can be continued for up to 10 days. If the symptoms of the disease do not disappear after 10 days of treatment, the patient should consult a doctor. Hands should be washed before and after using the ointment, and avoid excessive rubbing or touching the affected area with a towel to prevent exacerbation or transmission of infection.

Application features

Pregnant

For pregnant and breastfeeding women, the preparation is recommended to be used only in cases where the benefit, in the opinion of the doctor, outweighs the risk.

Children

There is insufficient data on the safety of using the preparation in children under the age of 12, therefore it is not recommended to use it in children of this age category.

Overdose

With oral or topical application of the entire tube of ointment, no adverse effects were found due to minimal systemic exposure. If an overdose is suspected, seek medical attention.

Side effects

In some patients, when using the ointment, a temporary, rapidly passing sharp or burning pain may appear. Approximately 5% of patients experienced slight drying and flaking of the skin. A small proportion of patients had erythema (redness) and itching. Very rarely, cases of contact dermatitis have been reported after the use of acyclovir preparations, however, these cases were more often associated with the components of the ointment base, and not with acyclovir. There are isolated reports of immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, due to topical application of acyclovir.
