How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (acyclovir). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Mechanism of Antiviral Action Acyclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1), 2 (HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV).
The inhibitory activity of acyclovir is highly selective due to its affinity for the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV and VZV.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (acyclovir). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Acyclovir tablets are contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction [e.g., anaphylaxis, severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) to acyclovir, valacyclovir, or any component of the formulation (see WARNINGS and ADVERSE REACTIONS ).
The most frequent adverse events reported during clinical trials of treatment of genital herpes with acyclovir 200 mg administered orally 5 times daily every 4 hours for 10 days were nausea and/or vomiting in 8 of 298 patient treatments (2.7%).
