No adverse events would be expected if the entire contents of a Acyclovir Auxilto cream tube, containing 500 mg of acyclovir, were ingested orally. Oral doses of 800 mg of acyclovir were administered five times daily (4 grams daily), for 7 days, with no adverse events.
Accidental intravenous administration of doses up to 80 mg/kg has not caused adverse events.
Acyclovir is removed by dialysis.
