DENAVIR is a nucleoside analog HSV DNA polymerase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of recurrent herpes labialis (cold sores) in adults and children 12 years of age or older. DENAVIR is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the product or any of its components. Category B There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.  Animal Data No adverse effects on the course and outcome of pregnancy or on fetal development were noted in rats and rabbits following the intravenous administration of penciclovir at doses of 80 and 60 mg/kg/day, respectively (estimated human equivalent doses of 13 and 18 mg/kg/day for the rat and rabbit, respectively, based on body surface area conversion; the body surface area doses being 260 and 355x the maximum recommended dose following topical application of the penciclovir cream).  Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, penciclovir should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
