Relevance: 23.07.2019 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Acyclovir is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Patients with renal impairment may be at greater risk for neuro- and nephrotoxicity (including further deterioration in renal function, tubular damage and acute renal failure) from acyclovir due to decreased drug clearance. Therapy with acyclovir should be administered cautiously in patients with renal impairment. Dosage adjustments are recommended in patients with moderate to severe renal dysfunction.
