Acylete Side Effects

Tablet: Skin rashes have been reported in a few patient receiving Acylete Tablets; the rashes have resolved on withdrawal of the drug. Gastrointestinal effects, including nausea vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pains, have been reported in some patients receiving Acylete Tablets. In double-blind, placebo-controlled trials the incidence of gastrointestinal events has not been found to differ between placebo and acyclovir recipients. Other events reported rarely in patients receiving oral formulations of Acyclovir include mild, transient rises in bilirubin an liver-related enzymes, small increase in blood urea and creatinine, small decrease in haematological indices, mild reversible neurological reactions and fatigue.
Cream: Because ulcerated genital lesions are characteristically tender and sensitive to any contact manipulation, patients may experience discomfort upon application of cream. In the controlled clinical trials, main pain (including transient burring and stinging) was reported. Other local reactions among acyclovir treated patients included pruritus, rash and vulvitis.
