Zovirax, cream 5% 5 g

Antiviral drug for external and local use. Acyclovir is active against Herpes simplex 1 and 2 types, Varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegaloviruses.

Thymidinkinase of virus-infected cells through a series of sequential reactions actively converts acyclovir into acyclovir mono-, di- and triphosphate. The latter interacts with the viral DNA polymerase and is incorporated into the DNA that is synthesized for new viruses. Thus, “defective” viral DNA is formed, which leads to suppression of replication of new generations of viruses.

Indications

Infections of the skin and mucous membranes caused by Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, including herpes of the lips.
