What is it Used For?

Acyclovir is an antiviral medication prescribed to treat infections caused by certain types of viruses, most notably:

  • Herpes simplex virus: Genital herpes, cold sores, and initial or recurrent herpes outbreaks

This medication does not cure herpes but helps reduce pain, itching, number of outbreaks, and speeds healing.

  • Initial herpes simplex infection: 200mg by mouth 5 times daily for 10 days
  • Recurrent herpes simplex: 200mg by mouth 5 times daily for 5 days
  • Suppressive therapy: 400mg (2 x 200mg) by mouth twice daily
  • Varicella (chickenpox): 800mg by mouth 5 times daily for 5 days (adults and children over 40kg)
  • Shingles: 800mg by mouth 5 times daily for 7–10 days

Individual dosage and duration may vary. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), acyclovir is a recommended first-line therapy for HSV and VZV infections, for both episodic and suppressive treatment.

Mechanism of Action

Acyclovir works by interfering with the replication of viral DNA. It is selectively activated in infected cells, where it is converted to acyclovir triphosphate. This active form inhibits viral DNA polymerase, preventing the virus from multiplying, thus reducing the severity and duration of outbreaks.

  3. It can be taken with or without food.
  4. Space doses evenly throughout the day.

  6. Do not skip doses; if a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember (unless nearly time for your next dose).

  • Prescription only—use under medical supervision.
  • Not a cure for herpes; helps control symptoms only.
  • Drink plenty of fluids to prevent kidney problems.

Frequently Asked Questions for Antiviral Medications
  • What are Antiviral Medications?

    Antiviral medications are drugs specifically designed to prevent or treat viral infections by inhibiting the development and multiplication of viruses in the body. Unlike antibiotics (which treat bacteria), antivirals target viruses, which are much smaller infectious agents.

  • How Do Antiviral Medications Work?

    Antiviral drugs work by: Preventing viruses from entering or attaching to host cells Inhibiting viral replication (stopping the virus from making copies of itself) Blocking enzymes the virus needs to multiply Boosting the immune response to the virus They do not typically kill viruses outright but limit their ability to multiply and spread.

  • Types of Antiviral Medications

    1. For Influenza Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) Zanamivir (Relenza) 2. For Herpes Viruses Acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir (Herpes simplex, Shingles, Chickenpox) Ganciclovir (Cytomegalovirus) 3.
