Acyclovir during early pregnancy

Acyclovir is mainly used to treat simple genital herpes and genital viral herpes. Genital viral herpes is a sexually transmitted disease, so acyclovir is mainly used to treat these problems. Pregnant women should pay attention to the contraindications to medication during pregnancy. In many cases, the side effects of drugs are very harmful to the body. If acyclovir is used in the early stages of pregnancy, dizziness and headaches will often occur, and there may even be some complications. Pregnant women should pay special attention when using it.

Acyclovir tablets are mainly used to treat herpes simplex virus infection and are used for initial and recurrent cases of genital herpes virus infection. For recurrent cases, oral acyclovir tablets are used as a preventive measure. However, can pregnant women take acyclovir tablets? Will it affect the fetus?

Drugs can pass through the placenta. Although animal experiments have confirmed that they have no effect on the embryo, pregnant women still need to weigh the pros and cons when taking drugs.

Acyclovir tablets may occasionally cause dizziness, headache, joint pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, loss of appetite, thirst, decreased white blood cell count, slightly increased proteinuria and urea nitrogen, skin itching, etc. Long-term administration may occasionally cause acne, insomnia, and menstrual disorders.

3. Long-term or repeated use of acyclovir tablets in patients with severe immunodeficiency may cause herpes simplex virus and herpes zoster virus to become resistant to acyclovir tablets. If the skin lesions of herpes simplex patients do not improve after taking acyclovir, the sensitivity of herpes simplex virus to acyclovir tablets should be tested.

4. Follow-up examination: Since most patients with genital herpes are prone to cervical cancer, patients should be examined at least once a year for early detection.

5. Once herpes symptoms and signs appear, medication should be taken as soon as possible.

6. Eating has no obvious effect on blood drug concentration. However, patients should be given plenty of water during administration to prevent acyclovir tablets from precipitating in the renal tubules.

7. Recurrent genital herpes infection is effectively treated with intermittent short-term therapy. Since animal experiments have found that acyclovir tablets affect fertility and cause mutations, the oral dosage and treatment course should not exceed the recommended standards. Long-term treatment for genital and recurrent herpes should not exceed 6 months.

8. One hemodialysis can reduce the blood drug concentration by 60%, so a supplementary dose should be given after hemodialysis.

9. Acyclovir tablets have no obvious effect on the latent infection and recurrence of herpes simplex virus and cannot eradicate the virus.
