2. What you need to know before you take Aciclovir Stada

  • If you are allergic to aciclovir, valaciclovir, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Aciclovir Stada.

If you are receiving treatment for a genital herpes infection and the lesions or blisters are visible on the genitals, it is recommended to avoid sexual contact to prevent possible infection of your partner.

Taking Aciclovir Stada with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • Interferon(a medicine used to treat multiple sclerosis), may increase the effects of both medicines.
  • Zidovudine(a medicine used to treat AIDS), may cause disorders in the nervous system (neuropathies), seizures, and lethargy.
  • Theophylline(used in asthma and other respiratory problems).
  • Cimetidine(used to treat peptic ulcers) and probenecid (used to treat gout), as they increase the concentration of aciclovir.
  • Myphenolate mofetil(a medicine used in transplanted patients). Caution should be exercised if you are taking high doses of aciclovir, as the blood levels of both medicines may be increased.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Pregnancy

There is not enough information available on the consequences of using aciclovir during pregnancy. You should consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant.

Breastfeeding

Aciclovir is excreted in breast milk. Similarly, not enough is known about its consequences. Therefore, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

It is not known whether aciclovir affects the ability to drive or use machines. Although the properties of aciclovir make such an effect unlikely, fatigue, headache, and effects on the nervous system have been reported. You should take this into account if you intend to drive or use machines during treatment with aciclovir.

Aciclovir Stada contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet, i.e., it is essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to take Aciclovir Stada

The dose will be determined by your doctor, individually for each patient.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. In some cases, the dose may be different from the recommended dose. Consult your doctor if you are not sure.

The recommended dose is:

  • Treatment of herpes virus infections in immunocompetent patients:

One tablet of aciclovir 5 times a day, every 4 hours for 5 days. No dose will be taken at night. If the infection is severe, your doctor may decide to treat you for a longer period. The first dose should be taken as soon as symptoms appear.

  • Prophylaxis of frequently recurring genital herpes virus infections in immunocompetent patients:

Two tablets of aciclovir, twice a day, every 12 hours.

  • Prophylaxis of herpes simplex infections after bone marrow or organ transplants and during the periods of remission after treatment for acute leukemia:

One tablet of aciclovir, 4 times a day, every 6 hours.

In patients with severely impaired immune systems, the dose may be increased to 2 tablets of aciclovir, 4 times a day.

Prophylactic therapy with aciclovir should start at the same time as the beginning of the risk period, i.e., when the immune system is depressed.

Use in children

For children over 2 years of age, the same dose as for adults should be used. These tablets are not designed for use in younger children (i.e., under 2 years of age).

Patients with reduced kidney function

Cautions should be exercised if kidney function is altered.

Herpes simplex virus infections:

In patients with severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance less than 10 ml/min), a dose adjustment to 200 mg of aciclovir, twice a day, approximately every 12 hours, is recommended.

Elderly patients

In principle, no dose adjustment is required in elderly patients. Only in cases of renal insufficiency may your doctor decide to adjust the dose.

Method of administration

Take the tablets with half a glass of water or other liquid.

In patients with kidney impairment or elderly patients, it is recommended to drink plenty of liquid during treatment with aciclovir. It is also important that patients treated with high doses of aciclovir drink sufficient liquid.

If you take more Aciclovir Stada than you should

Consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 915 62 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount taken.

The symptoms of an overdose include effects on the stomach and intestines, such as nausea or vomiting, and effects on the central nervous system, such as headache and confusion.

If you forget to take Aciclovir Stada

If you have recently forgotten to take a tablet, you can still take it. However, if the time when you should have taken the tablet has already passed, you should omit the missed dose. Wait until it is time for your next dose and continue with your normal dosing schedule as prescribed. Do not take a double dose of aciclovir to make up for missed doses.

If you stop taking Aciclovir Stada

Your doctor has told you how long to take aciclovir. Do not stop treatment before you should without consulting your doctor first.

If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
