SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT ACICLOVIR TABLETS BP 400mg 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each tablet contains 400mg Aciclovir PhEur. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Pink uncoated tablets. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1. THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS 1) Treatment of herpes simplex virus infections of the skin and mucous membranes including initial and recurrent genital herpes (excluding severe HSV infections in immunocompromised children). 2) Suppression (prevention of recurrences) of recurrent herpes simplex infections in immunocompetent patients. 3) Prophylaxis of herpes simplex infections in immunocompromised patients. 4) Treatment of varicella (chickenpox) infection. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION POSOLOGY _ADULTS: TREATMENT OF HERPES SIMPLEX INFECTIONS:_ 200mg aciclovir should be taken five times daily at approximately four hourly intervals omitting the night time dose. Treatment should continue for five days, but in severe initial infections this may have to be extended. In severely immunocompromised patients (_eg_ after marrow transplant) or in patients with impaired absorption from the gut the dose can be doubled to 400mg 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_: 200mg aciclovir should be taken four times daily at approximately six-hourly intervals. Many patients may be conveniently managed on a regime of 400mg aciclovir twice daily at approximately twelve-hourly intervals. Dosage titration down to 200mg aciclovir taken three times daily at approximately eight-hourly intervals or even twice daily at approximately twelve-hourly intervals, may prove effective. Some patients may experience break-through infections on total daily doses of 800mg Leia o documento completo
