Description
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:
Acyclovir, the active ingredient in our range, exerts its antiviral effects by selectively inhibiting viral DNA polymerase, an essential enzyme for viral replication. By interfering with the synthesis of viral DNA, Acyclovir effectively suppresses viral replication and spread, leading to symptom relief and improved clinical outcomes. Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that Acyclovir is well-absorbed after oral administration, with peak plasma concentrations achieved within hours. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily through the kidneys, with a half-life conducive to convenient dosing regimens.
Drug Classification:
Acyclovir belongs to the class of antiviral medications known as nucleoside analogs. It specifically targets herpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV), by inhibiting viral DNA replication.
