Description :
A guanosine analog antiviral drug that acts as an antimetabolite. Aciclovir
is used for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections, varicella
zoster (chickenpox) and herpes zoster (shingles).
Aciclovir has also been investigated for the treatment of herpes labialis
applied using an iontophoretic device. Currently approved drugs for the
treatment of herpes labialis (cold sores) exhibit low levels of efficacy due
to the limited ability of the drugs to penetrate the skin to the site where
the herpes virus is replicating. Iontophoresis uses electric current to
enhance the delivery of drugs through the skin.
Indication :
For the treatment and management of herpes zoster (shingles), genital
herpes, and chickenpox.
