Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Aciclovir is primarily used to treat infections caused by herpes simplex and varicella-zoster viruses, including cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles. It may also be used to prevent recurrent outbreaks in immunocompromised individuals. Aciclovir works by slowing the growth and spread of the virus.

Side Effects

  • When administered intravenously, aciclovir may cause mild side effects such as nausea, headache, or dizziness. Some patients report fatigue or a general feeling of being unwell. These effects are usually temporary and resolve after treatment ends.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Aciclovir should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems, as dosage adjustments may be required. Staying well-hydrated during treatment helps reduce the risk of kidney-related side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about existing medical conditions before starting this medication.

Avoid Interactions

  • Certain medications, such as probenecid or cimetidine, may interact with aciclovir, potentially increasing its levels in the blood. Caution is advised when combining aciclovir with other drugs that affect kidney function. Alcohol use may worsen side effects like dizziness or drowsiness.
