Virux Oral Suspension contains aciclovir, which is a purine derivative that interferes with DNA synthesis, limiting viral replication. It primarily works by blocking the action of the virus-encoded thymidine kinase enzyme, which is necessary for viral DNA replication. It is transformed into its pharmacologically active form, Aciclovir Triphosphate, within virus-infected cells. Aciclovir is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and distributed to various body tissues. It is eliminated through the kidneys via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion.
Probenecid can increase plasma levels of Aciclovir and raise the risk of toxicity.
Virux Oral Suspension should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Aciclovir.
