_Dosage in adults_
Treatment of herpes simplex infections: 200 mg Aciclovir should be
taken five times daily at
approximately four hourly intervals omitting the night time dose.
Treatment should continue
for 5 days, but in severe initial infections this may have to be
extended.
In severely immunocompromised patients (e.g. after marrow transplant)
or in patients with
impaired absorption from the gut the dose can be doubled to 400 mg
Aciclovir, or
alternatively, intravenous dosing could be considered.
Dosing should begin as early as possible after the start of an
infection; for recurrent episodes
this should preferably be during the prodromal period or when lesions
first appear.
Suppression of herpes simplex infections in immunocompetent patients:
200 mg Aciclovir
should be taken four times daily at approximately six-hourly
intervals.
Many patients may be conveniently managed on a regimen of 400 mg
Aciclovir twice daily at
approximately twelve-hour
