• > **Renal Warning**: Acyclovir is primarily excreted by the kidneys and can precipitate in renal tubules, especially if given rapidly IV or in dehydrated patients. Ensure adequate hydration during therapy. * **Feline Toxicity**: Cats are particularly sensitive to bone marrow suppression (leukopenia, anemia) from acyclovir. Use with extreme caution and monitor CBCs closely. * **Tissue Irritation**: IM injections can be highly irritating and may cause tissue necrosis if used for more than 72 hours (noted in avian species). * **Pregnancy/Nursing**: May be fetotoxic at high dosages (FDA Category C). It crosses the placenta and is excreted in milk at concentrations higher than maternal plasma. Use with caution in nursing patients. * **Renal Impairment**: Dosage reduction is required in patients with renal insufficiency.

약물 상호작용

• Nephrotoxic medications (e.g., Amphotericin B, Aminoglycosides): Concomitant administration with IV acyclovir may increase the potential for nephrotoxicity. Amphotericin B may potentiate antiviral effects but significantly increases nephrotoxic risk.
• Zidovudine: Concomitant use may cause additional CNS depression.
