WHAT MEDOLONE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Medolone contains a medicine called aciclovir. This belongs to a group
of medicines called
antivirals. It works by stopping the growth of viruses.
Medolone can be used to:
-
Treat recurring chicken-pox and shingles in people whose immune system
works well.
-
Treat severe first cases of genital herpes in people whose immune
system works well.
-
Treat primary and recurring chickenpox and shingles in people whose
immune systems work
less well, which means their bodies are less able to fight infections.
-
Treat and stop cold sores and genital herpes in people whose immune
systems work less well,
which means their bodies are less able to fight infections.
-
Prevent herpes simplex infections in people whose immune systems work
less well, which
means their bodies are less able to fight infections.
-
Treat inflammation of the brain. This can rarely be caused by the
virus responsible for cold sore
infection and genital herpes.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults and adolescents _
Patients with
_Herpes simplex_
(except herpes encephalitis) or
_Varicella zoster_
infections should be
given aciclovir in doses of 5 mg/kg body weight every 8 hours provided
renal function is not
impaired (see Dosage in renal impairment).
Immunocompromised patients with
_Varicella zoster_
infections or patients with herpes encephalitis
should be given aciclovir in doses of 10 mg/kg body weight every 8
hours provided renal function
is not impaired (see Dosage in renal impairment).
In obese patients dosed with intravenous aciclovir based on their
actual body weight, higher plasma
concentrations may be obtained (see section 5.2). Consideration should
therefore be given to dosage
reduction in obese patients and especially in those with renal
impairment or the elderly.
