Pharmacokinetics of orally administered acyclovir in patients with herpes progenitalis. 1982

R B Van Dyke, and J D Connor, and C Wyborny, and M Hintz, and R E Keeney

The pharmacokinetics of acyclovir administrated orally in a dose of 200 mg every four hours, five times a day to adults with herpes progenitalis was determined. Peak plasma acyclovir levels are found 1.5 to 1.75 hours after oral administration; peak levels range from 1.4 to 4.0 microM with a mean of 2.5 microM. Acyclovir levels in saliva are well correlated with simultaneous plasma levels, saliva levels being approximately 13 percent of plasma levels. Simultaneous plasma and vaginal secretion acyclovir levels are poorly correlated; peak levels in vaginal secretions range from 0.5 to 3.6 microM.
