Medovir cream is indicated for the treatment of Herpes Simplex virus infections of the skin including initial and recurrent genital herpes and herpes labialis.
Medovir cream should be applied five times daily, at approximately four hourly intervals, omitting the night time application.
Medovir Cream should be applied to the lesions or impending lesions as soon as possible, preferably during the early stages (prodrome or erythema). Treatment can also be started during the later (papule or blister) stages.
Treatment should be continued for at least 4 days for herpes labialis and for 5 days for genital herpes. If healing has not occurred then treatment may be continued for up to an additional 5 days.
No special comment.
Topical. Do not use in eyes.
Wash hands before and after administration. Always replace the cap on the tube securely.
No untoward effects would be expected if the entire contents of a 10-gram tube of aciclovir cream containing 500 mg of aciclovir were ingested orally. However, the accidental, repeated overdose of oral aciclovir, over several days has resulted in gastrointestinal effects (nausea and vomiting) and neurological effects (headache and confusion).
Aciclovir is dialysable by haemodialysis.
