Description

In modern clinical practice, Acyclovir has earned a reputation as one of the most effective and safe drugs for the treatment of viral herpes. Patients of virtually all age groups can get rid of herpes symptoms, if they buy Acyclovir and use it for 3-10 days.

 

To date, Acyclovir-based drugs stand amo

ng top-three drug leaders, which patients use to treat viral infections (2nd and 3rd place are taken by Interferon and Idoxuridine). Two key properties of Acyclovir make it a first-line drug in the treatment of viral herpes infections:

 

• high selectivity in relation to pathogens
• low toxicity to healthy cells of the body

 

The use of Acyclovir terminates the process of reconstitution of microorganisms-pathogens of viruses at any stage and prevents the formation of new generations of viruses.

 

None of the known antiviral drugs is able to completely rid the body of the herpes virus. However, Acyclovir not only arrests acute symptoms of the disease, but also prevents the recurrence of viruses. The drug reduces the frequency and severity of the clinical course of viral herpes, which improves the patient’s quality of life.

Before a patient starts the antiviral therapy with Acyclovir, he should choose one of the following 7 medicinal forms:

 

• ointment
• cream
• capsules
• pills
• buccal tablets
• oral suspension
• solution for injections

 

To get the medicine in a regular pharmacy, you need a prescription from your attending physician. Yet, those patients who do not have a prescription can buy Acyclovir online. International online pharmacies provide an opportunity to buy antiviral medicines in any country in the world. Therefore, patients who require antiviral therapy can get Acyclovir without a prescription, regardless of their region of residence.

 

It is important to start using Acyclovir as early as possible, with the first signs of viral herpes. Timely administration of Acyclovir can significantly shorten the duration of herpes relapse and help avoid the phase of erosions formation.

 

Acyclovir should only be bought for short-term use in antiviral therapy. Dosage of oral or injectable forms of Acyclovir is:

 

• for infants and children aged 3 months to 12 years: 10-20 mg per kilogram of body weight, every 8 hours for 3-10 days;
• for children over 12 years of age and adults: 200-800 mg, 4-5 times a day for 3-10 days.

 

To cure local herpetic infections, it is recommended to buy Acyclovir ointment or cream, and use them for 5-10 days. The application of ointment or cream 5 times a day at intervals of 4 hours leads to a fast disappearance of herpes manifestations on the skin and mucous membranes.

 

History of Acyclovir

 

Acyclovir was synthesized in 1974 by researchers at Wellcome Research Laboratories (now GlaxoSmithKline). The prerequisite for the appearance of Acyclovir was a sharp increase in the number of people, infected with herpes simplex virus, the treatment of which required the creation of an effective and safe drug.

 

After the invention of Acyclovir molecular formula, a number of preclinical trials were carried out, which confirmed its high antiviral activity. In 1977, a detailed report was published with the results of the research, and two years later, a patent was issued for the discovery of Acyclovir.

 

The first drug, based on Acyclovir, was an ointment named Zovirax. This ointment was approved by the FDA for the treatment of herpes in 1982. Oral dosage forms of Acyclovir (capsules) appeared on sale in 1985.

 

Despite the fact that more than 35 years passed since Acyclovir appeared in the pharmaceutical market, it remains one of frequently sold antiviral drugs and is the gold standard of herpes treatment. Patients can buy Acyclovir under the generic name, as well as under various brands, including Zovirax and Sitavig.
