Date of revision WHAT ACYCLOVIR 200 STADA IS USED FOR Acyclovir 200 STADA is a medicine for the treatment of viral infections (antiviral agent). Acyclovir is used for Herpes simplex virus infections, genital herpes of the skin and mucous in particular (primary and frequently recurring genital herpes). Recurrence prevention is indicated for adults with very severe forms of very frequently recurring genital herpes simplex virus infection. HOW ACYCLOVIR 200 STADA WORKS Acyclovir is an antiviral medicine, which acts on infected cells by stopping the virus growing. BEFORE YOU USE ACYCLOVIR 200 STADA _When you must not take it _ - If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to medications containing acyclovir or valacyclovir, or any of the other ingredients of Acyclovir 200 STADA. - If your kidney function is impaired or your urinary output is reduced to less than 100ml of urine per 24 hours, you should not use Acyclovir 200 STADA for prevention because no data are available on the use of Acyclovir 200 STADA in these conditions. - Acyclovir has been detected in breast milk following administration of acyclovir products. Breast-feeding is therefore discouraged while taking Acyclovir 200 Stada. _Before you start to take it _ - Please discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Acyclovir 200 Stada. _Taking other medicine _ - Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. Probenecid (uricosuric drug for gout) reduces acyclovir excretion via the kidneys, which may increase acyclovir pe Belgenin tamamını okuyun

Not all sizes are available in certain countries. Acyclovir 200 Stada ® is an antiviral drug Pharmacodynamics Mode of Action Acyclovir is a guanine derivative whose activity is essentially confined to viral thymidine kinase-producing human pathogenic herpes viruses, i.e. herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VSV). Acyclovir is not pharmacologically active until it has been converted by viral thymidine kinase inside virally infected cells along the following pathway: Phosphorylation of acyclovir (the substrate) to acyclovir monophosphate is faster by viral thymidine kinase than by host cell thymidine kinase. This relative selectivity minimizes the toxicity of acyclovir to host cells. Normal cellular nucleotidyl phosphotransferases then catalyse the sequential conversion of acyclovir monophosphate to acyclovir triphosphate. Acyclovir triphosphate (the active form of the drug) selectively inhibits viral DNA polymerase and is incorporated into viral DNA. Acyclovir triphosphate competitively displaces deoxyguanosine triphosphate nom DNA polymerases. Acyclovir triphosphate has higher affinity for HSV-encoded DNA polymerase than cellular DNA polymerase (10 to 20 times greater). It acts as a substrate for HSV-encoded DNA polymerase and, cleaving off diphosphate is incorporated into Belgenin tamamını okuyun
