What is Acyclovir?
Acyclovir (or Aciclovir) is a human-made purine nucleoside analog which suppresses the activity of all two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and 2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The primary purpose is to inhibit the multiplication of the virus. It decreases the production of the virus's DNA.

How does it work?
Its affinity for thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV and VZV, determines the high selectivity of acyclovir. With the help of viral TK, it is transformed into a nucleotide analog; acyclovir monophosphate which is then converted by host cell kinases to acyclovir triphosphate. ACP-TP prevents further viral DNA synthesis without affecting the natural cellular processes. There are three primary mechanisms of suppression: integration into DNA chain and termination of it, competitive suppression, and deactivation of the DNA polymerase. A high affinity towards the viral enzyme, thymidine kinase (TK) by Acyclovir makes the drug more effective on herpes simplex.

Review Acyclovir's mechanism of action and side effects for nursing pharmacology.

Acyclovir is an antiviral medication that is used to treat herpes simplex virus as well as the varicella-zoster virus. A major adverse effect of acyclovir is nephrotoxicity, so questions containing patients with abnormal BUN, creatinine, and urine output should cause concern for the patient’s safety. To prevent kidney injury, make sure the infusion rate is set within the appropriate limits and make sure the patient is drinking plenty of fluids.

Introduction: Acyclovir, an antiviral agent primarily targeting Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infections, presents predominantly mild adverse effects such as malaise (10%), gastrointestinal symptoms, and elevated liver function tests (1-10%). However, more severe complications, notably associated with intravenous administration, encompass rare occurrences of acute renal failure, neurological toxicity, and sporadic cases of bradycardia. A review of literature revealed 2 instances linking acyclovir to bradycardia, with no documented reports on junctional rhythm. A phase IV clinical study examining FDA data identified 1,424 individuals encountering side effects from Acyclovir, with only 6 individuals (0.42%) reporting bradycardia, primarily observed in males aged 60 and above using the medication for less than a month. Here we report a rare case of junctional rhythm caused by acyclovir.

Valacyclovir (Valtrex) is an antiviral medication used for treating infections caused by herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster virus, such as cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles, and chickenpox. It's available as a tablet. But it can be made by a compounding pharmacy into a suspension for people having trouble swallowing the tablets. Some more side effects of valacyclovir (Valtrex) include headache, nausea, and stomach pain.

Acyclovir – Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warnings
Acyclovir, marketed under brand names like Zovirax and Sitavig, is a widely prescribed antiviral medication recognized for its efficacy against various herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, including genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles. Its mechanism of action involves a two-step phosphorylation process leading to the formation of acyclovir triphosphate, which selectively inhibits viral DNA polymerase, thereby impeding DNA synthesis and replication. This targeted approach minimizes damage to healthy cells, making acyclovir a potent antiviral agent specifically tailored to combat herpesvirus infections.

The uses of acyclovir extend beyond treating active infections to include preventive measures in immunocompromised individuals and management of conditions like neonatal herpes infections and herpes simplex encephalitis. Despite its effectiveness, acyclovir can induce various side effects ranging from gastrointestinal discomfort and headaches to rare but severe complications such as renal dysfunction and neurological effects. Dosage adjustments are necessary, especially in patients with renal impairment, and careful monitoring is warranted to prevent toxicity. Additionally, caution is advised regarding potential drug interactions, allergic reactions, and special considerations during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Vigilant monitoring and adherence to dosage guidelines ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing risks associated with acyclovir therapy.
