    Pharmacodynamics:

    Mechanism of action

    Valacyclovir is an antiviral agent, it is an L-valine ester of acyclovir. Acyclovir is an analogue of a purine nucleoside (guanine).

    In the human body valaciclovir quickly and almost completely turns into acyclovir and valine is presumably influenced by the enzyme valacyclovirhydrolase.

    Acyclovir is a specific inhibitor of herpes viruses with activity in vitro against herpes simplex virus (HSV) of the 1 st and 2 nd types, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) (Varicella zoster virus), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpesvirus type 6.

    Acyclovir inhibits the synthesis of viral DNA immediately after phosphorylation and conversion into an active form - acyclovir triphosphate. The first stage of phosphorylation requires the activity of virus-specific enzymes. For HSV, VZV and VEB, this enzyme is viral thymidine kinase, which is present only in the cells infected with the virus. Partially, the selectivity of phosphorylation is maintained in the cytomegalovirus indirectly through the product of the phosphotransferase gene UL97. This need to activate acyclovir with a specific viral enzyme largely explains its selectivity.

    The process of phosphorylation of acyclovir (conversion from mono- to triphosphate) is completed by cellular kinases. Acyclovirurt phosphate competitively inhibits the viral DNA polymerase and, being an analogue of the nucleoside, is inserted into the viral DNA, which leads to obligate rupture of the chain, termination of DNA synthesis and, consequently, to blocking the replication of the virus.

    Resistance to acyclovir is usually due to a deficiency of thymidine kinase, which leads to an excessive spread of the virus in the host.In rare cases, a decrease in sensitivity to acyclovir is due to the appearance of strains of the virus with a violation of the structure of viral thymidine kinase or DNA polymerase. The virulence of these varieties of the virus resembles that of its wild strain.

    Based on the extensive study of HSV and BWV strains selected from patients who received acyclovir therapy or applied it for prophylaxis, it was found that viruses with reduced sensitivity to valacyclovir are extremely rare, but can be detected in rare cases in patients with severe immunity, for example, bone marrow transplant recipients or organ, patients receiving chemotherapy for malignant neoplasms, and in HIV-infected patients.

    Valaciclovir contributes to the relief of pain syndrome: reduces its duration and reduces the percentage of patients with pain caused by herpes zoster, including acute postherpetic neuralgia.
    Pharmacokinetics:

    Suction

    After oral administration valaciclovir well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, quickly and almost completely turning into a acyclovir and valine. This transformation is probably carried out enzyme of the liver with valacyclovirhydrolase.

    When taking valaciclovir in a dose of 1000 mg, the bioavailability of acyclovir is 54% and does not decrease with food intake. The pharmacokinetics of valacyclovir are not dose-dependent. The speed and degree of absorption decrease with increasing dose, resulting in a less proportional increase in the maximum concentration in the blood plasma (FROMmax) in comparison with the therapeutic range of doses and a decrease in bioavailability at doses above 500 mg.

    AUC - area under the pharmacokinetic curve "concentration-time". The values ​​of Cmax and AUC reflect the mean standard deviation.

    Values ​​for TmOh reflect the median value and range of values.

    The maximum concentration of valacyclovir in blood plasma is only 4% of the concentration of acyclovir, the median time of its attainment is 30 to 100 min after taking the drug.After 3 hours after taking the drug, the concentration of valaciclovir reaches the level of quantitation or lower. Valaciclovir and acyclovir have similar pharmacokinetic parameters after a single and multiple administration. VZV and HSV significantly do not change the pharmacokinetics of valaciclovir and acyclovir after taking valacyclovir inwards.

    Distribution

    The degree of binding of valaciclovir to plasma proteins is very low (15%). The degree of penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is defined as the ratio AUC in the CSF to AUC in blood plasma and is about 25% for acyclovir and metabolite 8-hydroxyacyclovir (8-OH-ACV); about 2.5% for the metabolite 9- (carboxymethoxy) methyl guanine (CMMG).

    Metabolism

    After oral administration valaciclovir turns into acyclovir and L-valine through presystem metabolism in the intestine and / or hepatic metabolism. Acyclovir is converted into small metabolites: CMMG under the influence of ethyl alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase; 8-OH-ACV under the influence of aldehyde oxidase. Approximately 88% of the total cumulative effect on blood plasma occurs in acyclovir, 11% - on CMMG and 1% - on the 8-OH-ACV. Valaciclovir and acyclovir are not metabolized by isoenzymes of the cytochrome P450 system.

    Excretion

    In patients with normal renal function, the half-life of acyclovir from the blood plasma after a single or multiple administration of valaciclovir is about 3 hours. Less than 1% of the accepted dose of valacyclovir is excreted by the kidneys unchanged. Valaciclovir is excreted from the body by the kidneys mainly in the form of acyclovir (more than 80% of the dose taken) and the metabolite of acyclovir - CMMG.

    Special patient groups

    Patients with impaired renal function

    Excretion of acyclovir correlates with renal function, the exposure of acyclovir increases with an increase in the severity of renal failure. In patients with terminal stage of renal failure, the mean half-life of acyclovir after valacyclovir is approximately 14 hours compared to approximately 3 hours with normal renal function.

    Expositions of acyclovir and its metabolites CMMG and 8-OH-ACV in blood plasma and CSF were evaluated in a stable state after multiple administration of valaciclovir in 6 patients with normal renal function (mean creatinine clearance 111 ml / min,the range of 91-144 ml / min) received 2000 mg every 6 hours and in 3 patients with severe renal failure (mean creatinine clearance 26 ml / min, range 17-31 ml / min) receiving 1500 mg every 12 hours.

    With severe renal failure compared with normal renal function in blood plasma, as well as in CSF, acyclovir concentrations, CMMG and 8-OH-ACV were 2, 4 and 5-6 times higher, respectively. There was no difference in the degree of penetration of acyclovir in the CSF (defined as the ratio of AUC to CSF ​​to AUC in blood plasma), CMMG or 8-OH-ACV between two populations with severe renal failure and normal renal function.

    Patients with impaired hepatic function

    Pharmacokinetic data show that in patients with hepatic impairment the rate of conversion of valaciclovir in acyclovir, but not the degree of this transformation. The half-life of acyclovir does not depend on liver function.

    Pregnancy

    A study of the pharmacokinetics of valaciclovir and acyclovir in late pregnancy established an increase in the daily AUC value in a stable state with a daily intake of valaciclovir 1000 mg / day, which was approximately 2 times higher than the AUC when administered at a dose of 1200 mg per day of acyclovir.

    HIV infection

    In patients with HIV infection, the distribution and pharmacokinetic characteristics of acyclovir following oral administration of one or more doses of 1000 mg or 2000 mg of valacyclovir remain unchanged compared to healthy volunteers.

    Organ transplantation

    The maximum concentration of acyclovir in patients after organ transplantation received 2000 mg valaciclovir 4 times a day, was comparable or higher than the maximum concentration, observed in healthy volunteers who received the same dose. Set Daily Values AUC can be characterized as significantly higher.

    Indications:

    Adults and adolescents aged 12 to 18 years:

    - lTreatment of infections of the skin and mucous membranes caused by HSV, including first-time and recurrent genital herpes (Herpes genitalis), as well as labial herpes (Herpes labialis);

    - PThe re-infection (suppression) of recurrences of infections of the skin and mucous membranes caused by HSV, including genital herpes, including in adults with immunodeficiency;

    - Pthe prevention of infections caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV), and diseases after transplantation of parenchymatous opganas.

    Adults:

    - lTreatment of herpes zoster (Herpes zoster) and ophthalmic herpes zoster.

    Contraindications:

    - Hypersensitivity to valaciclovir, acyclovir or any other component of the drug;

    - children's age till 12 years;

    - Children under 18 years of age in the treatment of herpes zoster and ophthalmic herpes zoster.

    Carefully:

    In patients with renal insufficiency; patients with clinically expressed forms of HIV infection; while taking nephrotoxic medicines at the same time.

    Pregnancy and lactation:

    Fertility

    In animal studies valaciclovir did not affect fertility. However, the use of high doses of acyclovir with parenteral administration caused testicular affects in rats and dogs.

    Studies on the effects of valacyclovir on fertility in humans have not been conducted. However, there were no changes in the number, motility and morphology of spermatozoa in 20 patients after 6 months of daily use of valacyclovir in doses ranging from 400 mg to 1000 mg.

    Pregnancy

    There are limited data on the use of Valtrex® during pregnancy.The drug should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother exceeds the potential risk to the fetus.

    Pregnant registers documented pregnancy outcomes in women taking Valtrex® or other drugs containing acyclovir (acyclovir is an active metabolite of the drug Valtrex®), 111 and 1246 observations, respectively (of which 29 and 756 took drugs in the first trimester of pregnancy), were pregnancy outcomes) recorded prospectively. Analysis of the data presented in the register of pregnant women exposed to acyclovir did not reveal an increase in the number of birth defects in their children as compared to the general population, none of the developmental defects showed specificity or patterns indicating common cause. Since the register of pregnant women included a small number of women who took valaciclovir during pregnancy, then certain and definite conclusions about security the use of valaciclovir during pregnancy can not be done.

    Breastfeeding period

    Acyclovir, the main metabolite of valacyclovir, penetrates into breast milk. After taking valacyclovir in a dose of 500 mg inside Cmax in breast milk in 0,5-2,3 times (on average, 1,4 times) exceeded the corresponding concentrations of acyclovir in the blood plasma of the mother. The ratio of AUC values ​​of acyclovir in breast milk to AUC in the mother's serum ranged from 1.4 to 2.6 (mean 2.2). The average concentration of acyclovir in breast milk was 2.24 μg / ml (9.95 μmol / L). When taking a valacyclovir mother at a dose of 500 mg twice a day, children who are breastfeeding, are exposed to the same effects of acyclovir as when taken orally at a dose of about 0.61 mg / kg / day. The half-life of acyclovir from breast milk is the same as from plasma.

    Valacyclovir in unchanged form was not detected in blood plasma mother, breast milk or urine of a child. Valtrex® should be administered with caution to women during breastfeeding.

    Nevertheless, acyclovir for intravenous administration is used to treat HSV in infants at a dose of 30 mg / kg / day.

    Dosing and Administration:

    The preparation Valtrex® is taken regardless of the meal, the tablets should be washed down with water.

    Treatment of infection of the skin and mucous membranes caused by HSV, include the newly identified and recurrent genital herpes (Herpes genitalis), as well as labial herpes (Herpes labialis)

    Immunocompetent adults and adolescents aged 12 to 18 years

    The recommended dose is 500 mg 2 times a day.

    In case of relapse, treatment should last 3 or 5 days. In the case of primary herpes, which can occur in a more severe form, treatment should be started as early as possible, and its duration should be increased from 5 to 10 days. With relapses of HSV, Valtrex® in the prodromal period or immediately after the appearance of the first symptoms of the disease is considered to be the most correct. The use of valaciclovir can prevent the development of the lesion if it is used at the first signs and symptoms of a relapse caused by HSV.

    As an alternative treatment for labial herpes, valtrex® in a dose of 2000 mg 2 times a day for 1 day is effective. The second dose should be taken after approximately 12 hours (but not earlier than 6 hours) after taking the first dose. When using this dosing regimen, the duration of treatment should not exceed 1 day,as the excess of the duration of this course of treatment does not lead to additional clinical benefit.

    Therapy should be started when the earliest symptoms of labial herpes (ie tingling, itching, burning) occur.

    Prevention (suppression) of recurrences of infection of the skin and mucous membranes caused by HSV, including genital herpes, including in adults with immunodeficiency

    Immunocompetent adults and adolescents aged 12 to 18 years

    In immunocompetent patients, the recommended dose is 500 mg once a day.

    After 6-12 months of treatment, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy.

    Adults with immunodeficiency

    In adults with immunodeficiency, the recommended dose is 500 mg twice a day.

    After 6-12 months of treatment, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy.

    Prevention of infections caused by CMV and diseases after transplantation of parenchymal organs

    Adults and adolescents aged 12 to 18 years

    The recommended dose is 2000 mg 4 times a day, prescribed as soon as possible after transplantation. The dose should be lowered depending on the creatinine clearance.

    The duration of treatment is usually 90 days, but in patients with high-risk treatment can be extended.

    Treatment of herpes zoster (Herpes zoster) and ophthalmic herpes zoster

    Adults

    The recommended dose is 1000 mg 3 times a day for 7 days.

    Special patient groups

    Children

    Effectiveness of treatment Valtrex® in children was not examined.

    Elderly patients

    It is necessary to take into account the possible violation of renal function in elderly patients, the dose of Valtrex® should be adjusted accordingly.

    It is necessary to maintain an adequate water-electrolyte balance.

    Patients with impaired renal function

    The dose of Valtrex® should be reduced in patients with severe renal dysfunction (see dosing regimen in Table 2). Such patients need to maintain an adequate water-electrolyte balance.

    Additional information for the indication: prevention of infections, caused by CMV and diseases after transplantation of parenchymal organs

    It is often necessary to determine the clearance of creatinine, especially at a time when the kidney function is changing rapidly, for example, immediately after transplantation or engraftment of the graft, with the dose of Valtrex® adjusted according to creatinine clearance.

    Additional information for indications: treatment of herpes zoster herpes (Herpes zoster) and ophthalmic herpes zoster

    Valtrex® should be used after hemodialysis in patients undergoing periodic hemodialysis.

    Patients with impaired hepatic function

    Based on the study using a single dose of valaciclovir 1000 mg in adult patients with cirrhosis of mild or moderate severity (with preserved synthetic function of the liver), the dose adjustment of Valtrex® is not required.

    Pharmacokinetic data in adult patients with severe liver dysfunction (decompensated cirrhosis), with a violation of the synthetic function of the liver and the presence of portocaval anastomoses also do not indicate the need for correction of Valtrex dose, but the clinical experience with these pathologies is limited.

    Information about the doses more than 4000 mg per day for patients with infections caused by HSV and CMV, refer to "Cautions".

    Rarely: acute renal insufficiency, renal colic. Renal colic can be associated with impaired renal function. Crystalline deposition was reported Acyclovir in the lumen of the renal tubules.

    Adequate drinking regimen should be observed during treatment.

    Other: In patients with severe impairment of immunity, especially in adults with advanced HIV infection receiving high doses of valaciclovir (8 g daily) for a long period of time, there have been cases of renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia (sometimes in combination). Similar complications were noted in patients with the same underlying or concomitant diseases, but not receiving valaciclovir.

    Overdose:

    Symptoms

    Acute renal failure and neurologic disorders, including confusion, hallucinations, agitation, oppression of consciousness and coma, as well as nausea and vomiting, were observed in patients who received doses of valaciclovir exceeding those recommended. Similar conditions were more frequent in patients with impaired renal function and elderly patients who received repeated higher recommended doses of valaciclovir due to non-compliance with the dosing regimen.

    Treatment

    Patients should be under close medical supervision. Hemodialysis greatly contributes to the excretion of acyclovir from the blood and can be considered a method of choice in managing patients with an overdose of the drug Valtrex®.

    Interaction:

    Clinically significant interactions are not established.

    Acyclovir is excreted by the kidneys, mainly in unmodified form through active renal secretion. Combined use of drugs with this removal mechanism can lead to an increase in the concentration of acyclovir in the blood plasma. After the appointment of Valtrex® in a dose of 1000 mg and drugs cimetidine, probenecid, which are excreted in the same way as the preparation Valtrex®, there is an increase AUC acyclovir and, thus, decreased kidney clearance acyclovir. Topics not less, due to the wide therapeutic index of acyclovir, correction of Valtrex® dose is not required.

    In the treatment of labial herpes, the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by CMV, caution should be exercised in case of simultaneous use of Valtrex® at higher doses (4000 mg per day or more) and drugs that compete with acyclovir for the route of elimination, since there is a potential threat of a rise in plasma concentrations of one or both drugs or their metabolites.

    An increase was noted AUC acyclovir and inactive mof mycophenolate mycophenolate mofetil (an immunosuppressant used in patients after organ transplantation) with the simultaneous use of these drugs.

    Simultaneous application Valtrex® with nephrotoxic drugs, including aminoglycosides, organic compounds of platinum, iodinated contrast medium, methotrexate, pentamidine, foscarnet, cyclosporine and tacrolimus should be performed with caution, especially in patients with impaired renal function, and requires regular monitoring of renal function.

    Special instructions:

    Hydration

    In patients at risk of dehydration, especially in elderly patients, an adequate water-electrolyte balance must be ensured.

    Use in patients with impaired renal function and the elderly patients

    Because the acyclovir is excreted by the kidneys, it is necessary to reduce the dose of Valtrex® in patients with impaired renal function.

    In elderly patients, renal dysfunction may be observed, so a dose reduction for this group of patients should be considered.

    Both elderly patients and patients with impaired renal function are at increased risk of developing neurological complications, such patients need to ensure thorough medical supervision.

    As a rule, these reactions are mostly reversible in the case of drug discontinuation.

    Treatment of labial herpes and prevention of CMV infections and diseases

    The use of high doses of Valtrex® in cases of impaired liver function and after liver transplantation

    No data on the use of Valtrex® in high doses (4000 mg in day and above) in patients with liver disease, so such patients high dose Valtrex® should be administered with caution.

    Specials Studies on the study of Valtrex® during liver transplant were not carried out. However, it was found that the prophylactic administration of acyclovir in high doses reduces the manifestations of CMV infection and disease.

    Use in genital herpes

    Patients should be advised to abstain from sexual contact if there are symptoms, even if treatment with the antiviral drug Valtrex® has already been started. Suppressive therapy with Valtrex® reduces the risk of transmission of genital herpes, but does not completely exclude the risk of infection and does not lead to complete cure. Therapy with Valtrex® it is recommended in combination with reliable means of barrier contraception.

    Effect on the ability to drive transp. cf. and fur:

    It is necessary to take into account the clinical state of the patient and the profile of adverse reactions of valacyclovir in assessing the patient's ability to drive or move vehicles.
