Release form
This product is in the form of tablets coated externally with a film-like coating. The tablets are in cardboard packaging in plates, their weight is 400 milligrams. You can buy the drug in pharmacies only according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor. The shelf life of Acyclovir Belupo is quite large, it is as much as 36 months from the date of issue.
How does he act
The drug has an effect in this way: first, active substances penetrate into cells that are already infected with viruses, then react with viruses, where they are suppressed, and ultimately remove the virus completely.
"Acyclovir Belupo" in its way serves as a kind of analogue of thymidine nucleoside. When cells are affected by viral thymidinases, the result is phospholation and transformation of acyclovir monophosphate. Having been exposed to acyclovir, guanyl acyclases change into diphosphate and, under the influence of some cellular enzymes, pass into triphosphate. High selectivity of movements and low toxicity to humans lead to a lack of the enzyme necessary for the production of triphosphate in intact cells of microorganisms.
Triphosphate enters the system using the DNA virus, where it stops the reproduction of the virus. Specificity, together with high selectivity of movement, is also provoked by the accumulation of triphosphate in cells infected with herpes.
Indications
Based on this, we can safely say that the drug copes with:
- Herpes types 1 and 2.

With CI creatinine up to 25 ml / min, 800 milligrams three times a day is recommended every 8 hours.
Interaction
When combining solutions, attention should be paid to the alkaline reaction of acyclovir for administration. A sufficiently large effect is noted with the combined appointment of immunostimulants. Tubular secretion blockers dramatically reduce the level of tubular secretion of the administered acyclovir, which leads to an increase in the concentration of acyclovir in the blood serum and CSF, a slowdown in the elimination of acyclovir from the blood and CSF, and an increase in the toxic effect.
