Description
Application
Acyclovir is widely used in the treatment of infections caused by herpes viruses such as herpes simplex (cold sores and genital herpes) and varicella-zoster (chickenpox and shingles). It is available in oral topical and intravenous forms depending on the severity of the infection. It is also used in immunocompromised patients to prevent viral outbreaks.
Purpose
The main purpose of acyclovir is to inhibit the growth and spread of viral infections. It works by blocking viral DNA synthesis thereby preventing the virus from multiplying in the body.
General Description
Acyclovir is an antiviral medication that appears as a white crystalline powder. It is a synthetic nucleoside analogue that interferes with viral DNA replication particularly in herpes viruses.
