Overview
Acyclovir (Zovirax) is a synthetic nucleoside analog antiviral that selectively inhibits replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1, HSV-2) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Introduced in the 1980s, it was a milestone in antiviral therapy. It is available as oral tablets, topical cream, ophthalmic ointment, and intravenous solution.
Uses
Treats HSV infections such as cold sores, genital herpes, and herpes encephalitis. Also effective against shingles and chickenpox. Suppressive therapy reduces recurrence and viral shedding.Dosage & Administration
Typical oral dosing for HSV is 200–400 mg five times daily for 5–10 days. For VZV, 800 mg five times daily for 7 days. Topical form applied every 4 hours during waking hours. Hydration is essential to prevent renal crystallization.Side Effects & Warnings
Headache, nausea, and diarrhea are common. Rare events include renal impairment and neurotoxicity in elderly or dehydrated patients. Use with caution in renal disease.Patient Considerations
Begin therapy at first sign of symptoms for maximum benefit. Acyclovir does not cure herpes or prevent transmission—safe sex practices remain necessary. Store tablets at room temperature and complete the entire course.Ready for next steps?
