How does the Drug work
◉Aciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It works by inhibiting the viral DNA polymerase enzyme that is necessary for the virus to replicate and spread.
◉ When Aciclovir is taken orally in a dose of 800 mg, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches the site of the viral infection. There, it is converted into its active form by enzymes in the infected cells. This active form of Aciclovir then selectively targets and inhibits the viral DNA polymerase, preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading further.
◉ The effective concentration of Aciclovir in the body is maintained for several hours after a single dose, which allows for less frequent dosing compared to some other antiviral medications.
◉ It’s important to note that Aciclovir is not a cure for herpes or varicella-zoster virus infections, but rather it can help to reduce the duration and severity of symptoms, and prevent outbreaks from recurring. It is also used as a preventive treatment for individuals with weakened immune systems who are at risk of developing severe herpes or varicella-zoster virus infections.
