Your doctor will indicate the dose and duration of your treatment with intravenous aciclovir.

The treatment of herpetic encephalitis and neonatal herpes simplex usually lasts 10 days. The duration of intravenous aciclovir prophylactic administration will be determined by the duration of the risk period.

The recommended dose is:

Immunocompromised patients with varicella zoster virus infections or herpetic encephalitis: 10 mg/kg, every 8 hours.

4. Possible Adverse Effects

Like all medications, this medication may produce adverse effects, although not all people will experience them.

Nervous system disorders: agitation, confusion, tremor, difficulty moving, difficulty speaking, confusion or imagination of things (hallucinations), convulsions, drowsiness, encephalopathy (brain alteration), coma. These effects are generally reversible and normally appeared in patients with renal alterations or predisposing factors.

In some patients, a rapid and reversible increase in blood urea or creatinine levels was observed, a circumstance believed to be due to high plasma levels of the drug and the patients' hydration status. Therefore, it is essential that the level of hydration is adequate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This information is intended solely for healthcare professionals

The solution should be administered only by intravenous route and in a continuous but very slow manner, so that it is administered over a period of not less than one hour.

If applicable, it is recommended to dilute immediately before use. Unused solution should be discarded. In case of visible turbidity or crystallization before or during infusion, the solution should be rejected.

Administration form

Intravenous perfusion without dilution:

The solutionis administered through a controlled rate infusion pump, over a period of not less than one hour.

Perfusion with dilution:

The solutioncan be diluted for administration through perfusion. The dilution is made totally or partially, as necessary, by adding and mixing it with at least 50 ml of infusion solution, to obtain a solution with a maximum concentration of 0.5% (250 mg/50 ml). The contents of 2 vials (500 mg of aciclovir) can be added to 100 ml of infusion solution, and in the case of a required dose greater than 500 mg, a second volume of infusion solution can be used.

This medication is compatible with the following solutions:

  • Sodium chloride (0.45%, 0.9% p/v).
  • Sodium chloride (0.18% p/v) and glucose (4% p/v).
  • Sodium chloride (0.45% p/v) and glucose (2.5% p/v)
  • Sodium lactate (Hartmann's solution)

It should be shaken vigorously to ensure a perfect mixture.

Following accidental intravenous injection of aciclovir, severe extravascular inflammation may occur, sometimes followed by ulcerations. Perfusion through mechanical pumps poses a higher risk than gravity perfusion. It may cause phlebitis and inflammation at the infusion site.
