Valaciclovir
A prodrug of the antiviral aciclovir, patented in 1987 and in use since 1995 against herpes viruses: cold sores, genital herpes and herpes zoster (shingles). This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
Did you know?It is aciclovir linked to the amino acid valine, hence the name: in the body the bond is broken, and this 'disguise' lets far more of the active drug be absorbed by mouth.
