Acyclovir is an antiviral drug available in several forms: tablets with dosages of 200 mg, 400 mg and 800 mg, 5% cream, and 2.5% and 5% ointment.

Acyclovir ointment has high specificity for herpes viruses, chickenpox, herpes zoster, Epstein-Barr, and cytomegalovirus. Diseases caused by these pathogens are direct indications for the use of the drug. However, this antiviral drug is also used to treat epidermal neoplasms that appear as a result of the activity of the human papillomavirus.

The use of Acyclovir ointment helps to cope with the following types of papillomas:

• Filiform papillomas . Small, soft, elongated growths located mainly on the neck, under the chest and under the arms. Their color ranges from pale pink to dark brown. They mainly affect women who have undergone hormonal changes.
• Teenage or flat warts . New growths that grow not in depth, but in breadth. They are often paler in color than the healthy skin on which they are located. They got their name due to the fact that they most often occur in boys and girls during puberty.
• Vulgar warts . Small neoplasms that appear most often on the hands. This type of papillomas occurs mainly in children of kindergarten and primary school age.
• Spikes . A distinctive feature of this type of papillomas is their growth not outward, but inside the epidermis. They are an occupational disease of athletes, as well as those who often visit saunas, swimming pools, steam rooms, and showers in public places.
• Genital warts . They primarily affect the anogenital area and are localized on the skin of the glans penis, at the labia, and at the entrance to the anus. As a rule, they grow in whole areolas and are extremely traumatic. They occur most often in people who are in the phase of active sexual relations.

The composition of Acyclovir ointment against papillomas includes the following components:

• Acyclovir . The main active ingredient of the ointment is the element of the same name - an analogue of the DNA component (purine nucleoside deoxyguanidine).
• Chicken oil . A component rich in unsaturated fatty acids, due to which it has high conductivity of substances into the epidermis. Eliminates peeling, reduces sensitivity and irritability of tissues, and has a valuable healing effect.
• Propylene glycol . It has a strong softening effect, which is why it is actively used in skin preparations.
• Macrogol . The main task of this component in therapy is to provide a moisturizing effect, this is especially important when treating growths with severe keratinization.
• Purified water . This component is also used to moisturize and bring all components of the product into line with the required dosage.

Acyclovir ointment is a thick, fatty-watery substance, translucent, with a whitish or yellowish tint. Packaged in metallized and polyethylene tubes of 2 g, 5 g and 10 g.

1 g of ointment contains 25 or 50 mg of acyclovir (2.5% and 5% dosage, respectively). Considering the intensity of treatment with the drug, the most popular dosage for removing papillomas is 2.5% and a volume of 10 g.

Packaged in cardboard boxes, complete with instructions for use.

The benefits of Acyclovir for papillomas and warts

The action of the drug is based on the ability of the active substance to influence the replication of viral DNA. After use in the human body, phosphorylation of acyclovir occurs into acyclovir monophosphate, then into acyclovir diphosphate and through a complex chain into acyclovir triphosphate. It is this that acts destructively on viral DNA, which leads to blocking of chain synthesis.

Acyclovir ointment is a drug focused on “molecular targets”. It recognizes infected DNA and acts specifically on it, with almost no effect on healthy human cells. For this technique, in 1988, the developer of Acyclovir, American pharmacologist Gertrude Elion, received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Let's take a closer look at the effect of Acyclovir ointment:

• Softening . The ointment helps soften the keratinized tissue of the wart, which promotes deep penetration of the active substance deep into the epidermis.
• Antiviral . Acyclovir searches for infected cells and has a depressing effect on the causative agent of the mutation.
• Painkiller . Thanks to the anesthetic effect of Acyclovir ointment for papillomas, a lasting analgesic effect can be achieved. This is important when treating genital warts, which are very soft and easily traumatic inclusions.
• Mummifying . The mutated cells in which the viruses die turn out to be non-viable, which leads to the gradual suppression of the neoplasm, its drying out and detachment.
• Exfoliating . Mummified neoplasms gradually detach themselves from the healthy skin. The key to this process is to ensure spontaneity. This will help avoid mechanical damage to healthy skin and scarring.
• Regenerating . After exfoliation of the papilloma, the skin is quickly restored to its original state.
• Preventive . Acyclovir ointment can have an immunostimulating effect, due to which the general and protective functions of the body increase, which leads to the prevention of the formation of papillomas in the future.

Instructions for use of Acyclovir ointment for papillomas and warts

The use of Acyclovir ointment in the treatment of papillomas is not labor-intensive, but may cause some inconvenience due to the required frequency of use of the drug. It is recommended to apply the product 5-6 times a day, at regular intervals. Thus, the maximum therapeutic effect is achieved.

Treatment should begin at the first symptoms of the disease. This will significantly speed up the process of cleansing the skin of tumors caused by HPV.

Before using Acyclovir, prepare your skin. To do this, thoroughly wash the new growth with soap and dry it with a terry towel. If spines are subject to treatment, remove the keratinized skin from the wart by cutting it off with nail scissors or combing it off with a sanding file or pumice stone.

Instructions for use of Acyclovir ointment:

1. Take the tube, open it. Squeeze out the minimum possible amount of product. Using a cotton swab, apply the drug to the tumor so that it is completely treated.
2. Wait 10-15 minutes until the ointment is absorbed.
3. If an area that may be subject to mechanical stress is to be treated, seal it with a bactericidal plaster.

As already noted, treatment with Acyclovir ointment is necessary every 4-5 hours. The duration of treatment is not less than 5, but not more than 10 days. If during this time there have been no changes in the appearance of the tumor, consult a specialist.

Contraindications to the use of Acyclovir ointment

Acyclovir ointment should not be used near the eyes!

The product is produced by many pharmaceutical companies. All of them note in the instructions for Acyclovir ointment that the only contraindication to the use of this product is an allergy to any of the components of the drug.

It is also noted that during pregnancy and breastfeeding treatment is possible, but under the strict supervision of the attending physician.

There is no data on the use of Acyclovir ointment for papillomas in children in the instructions.

However, given the fact that oral tablets with acyclovir are used in children from 1 year of age, there is reason to believe that the ointment is also approved for use in young patients.

But this issue must be agreed upon with the pediatrician. He will also give recommendations regarding the frequency of treatments for papillomas or warts and the duration of this therapy.

At the same time, the use of Acyclovir ointment for papillomas can cause some side effects, namely: itching, burning, peeling.

If you experience one of these symptoms, next time try to slightly reduce the amount of the drug used for application.

The drug is approved for use near and even on mucous membranes. The exception is the ophthalmological field. The product is not recommended for use near the eyes, and especially on the eyelids. This can lead to negative ophthalmological consequences requiring doctor's intervention.

The instructions for Acyclovir ointment do not contain information about what results can be achieved if you use this remedy against tumors caused by papillomavirus. It is noted that herpes is cured in 7 days and another 3 days of use are necessary for a lasting effect of therapy.

As patients note in their reviews, it takes more time to fight papillomas - up to 1 month. During this time, the papilloma gradually dries out, then it is detached and the surface on which the growth was previously located is leveled.

Real reviews about the treatment of papillomas with Acyclovir

Acyclovir ointment for papillomas has mostly positive reviews. Despite the fact that there are no direct indications for the use of the drug against tumors caused by HPV, its popularity in the fight against papillomas and warts is very high.

Tatyana, 46 years old, Voronezh

One day I heard a woman in a pharmacy ordering several tubes of Acyclovir, which was out of stock. I became interested, and I asked her for what purpose she takes such an amount.

It turned out that with the help of this drug she treats papillomas and warts, which she periodically develops due to hormonal imbalance. I ordered this product for myself. In the instructions for Acyclovir ointment, I did not find any information that it treats growths caused by the human papillomavirus.

But since this is an antiviral medicine, I still decided to try it. I had 3 neoplasms, which I classified as papillomas. I managed to remove one papilloma with the help of ointment within 3 weeks. During the same time, we removed 2 warts from our daughter’s fingers.

Since the treatments were carried out very frequently, one tube was not enough for the two of us, so we had to buy another one. But given its cheapness, this was not a problem. We used 2.5% ointment, but I know there is another 5% ointment.

I think that if papillomas appear again, I will try to be treated with a stronger option, with a higher concentration of the active substance. 2 more tumors remained unchanged on my neck. I assume that they may not be of viral origin, so I have already made an appointment with a dermatologist to figure out what these growths are.

Vladimir, 39 years old, Moscow

My therapist advised me to buy acyclovir ointment when I told him that after a cold, herpes appeared not only on my lip, but also on the head of the penis. Also, quite a long time ago I had several halos of condylomas. I spent a lot of effort and money on their treatment.

But as soon as the immunity decreased a little, everything appeared again. Previously, I used antiviral sprays to fight condylomas, which helped quite well. But in the last few months there was no time for treatment.

I read in the instructions that Acyclovir is an antiviral drug, and decided to use it for the treatment of condylomas. The effect of use on herpes and condylomas was different.

The condylomas gradually shrunk and went away over time, and the herpes became covered with crusts that peeled off, leaving wounds in their place that healed over time. It took me a little over 2 weeks to treat both diseases. But the treatments were quite frequent and intense.

Valentina, 24 years old, Perm

Therefore, it was a real shock for me when, first during pregnancy, small growths began to appear on the neck, and then, after the birth of my daughter, everything under the breasts became strewn with thread-like papillomas. I started looking on the Internet for remedies that would not conflict with breastfeeding.

Unfortunately, these were very difficult to find. And then I came across a mention that papillomas are treated with antiviral drugs. Acyclovir ointment had especially many reviews. This drug has always been hanging out in my refrigerator, since my husband is prone to frequent cold sores on his lips. I decided to try it.

Since I am on maternity leave, it was not difficult for me to treat my tumors 6 times a day. It’s hard to imagine how people who go to work can do this, but for me this method of treatment was normal. I read in the instructions that you can use the product for no more than 10 days.

I smeared my growths for 2 weeks, but tried to treat them spot-on to reduce the amount of product used. Then I took a break of 1 week and used the drug for another 2 weeks. My papillomas are completely gone. Happiness knew no bounds.

But after finishing breastfeeding, I still want to undergo a full course of treatment, aimed at suppressing the virus itself, and not just its skin manifestations. I’m thinking of taking another course of Acyclovir tablets.

Treatment of condylomas with acyclovir: composition, release form and effectiveness

Acyclovir ointment is an antiviral drug that dermatologists and gynecologists prescribe for the treatment of genital warts. Over the years, the topic of condylomas has become increasingly relevant for many men and women.

These growths on the skin and mucous membranes force medical specialists to implement new, more effective drugs to combat HPV.

However, ingrained beliefs about obtaining positive results from certain treatments sometimes prevent patients from trying an innovative medicine.

Content

Composition and active substance

The human papillomavirus has become so widespread among the world's population that scientists have developed a lot of medications in various forms, with different bases and active ingredients. Acyclovir has been used for condylomas for more than 30 years.

However, its effectiveness in the fight against human papillomavirus is quite controversial. The product is indeed antiviral, but it was developed to combat the herpes virus, and its components cannot affect HPV.

For condylomas that occur in parallel with genital herpes rashes, gynecology often prescribes acyclovir ointment for external use.

The composition of the drug includes:

• acyclovir;
• poultry fat;
• preservative (propylene glycol, methyl parahydroxybenzoate, nipagin);
• purified water;
• preservative;
• emulsifier No. 1;
• macrogol.

The active ingredient is acyclovir, an artificially created analogue of the DNA component (purine deoxynucleoside).

How does the drug act on condylomas?

This drug in various forms is prescribed for skin diseases caused by viral infection. Condylomas are manifestations of the action of HPV in the body of an infected man or woman.

These growths on the skin and mucous membranes of the genitals and mouth are a sign of weakened immunity. And since the body’s resistance is reduced, genital warts often develop in combination with other diseases, including viral herpes.

In such cases, the doctor prescribes Acyclovir, which effectively fights the pathogen itself and its manifestations on the human body.

The active ingredient of the drug is a synthetic substitute for the natural component of DNA and “works” exclusively in skin cells affected by one of the types of herpes. Acyclovir enters the infected cell, is phosphorylated into acyclovir monophosphate, then it is converted into diphosphate and triphosphate. The latter stops the formation of pathogen DNA in the body.

The destructive effect of this ointment on genital warts is questionable. There are other medications for the external signs of the human papillomavirus, and they are widely used to combat condylomas of various localizations. Viferon is highlighted among them.

Treatment for HPV must be comprehensive. Medicines for external use help get rid of rashes, and internal use of drugs is aimed at fighting the pathogen, strengthening the immune system, and supporting the body with vitamin supplements.

Release forms

Acyclovir is available in various forms. It could be:

• ointment;
• cream;
• pills;
• suspension;
• capsules;
• lyophilized powder for diluting a solution administered intramuscularly or intravenously.

We recommend reading:

Directions for use and overdose

When treating with the injection and tablet form of the drug, cases of overdose were observed, which were accompanied by nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, drowsiness, and general malaise. Allergic reactions may also occur in the form of skin rashes.

There is no data on an overdose of liniment.

Contraindications and side effects

This medication should be used with caution in patients with acute renal failure. Injections with Acyclovir are contraindicated for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

• You should not use the medicine if you are sensitive to certain components of the product.
• The following side effects were noted: nausea, vomiting, skin rashes, headache, insomnia, kidney problems, malaise, changes in test results, hallucinations.

Treatment of condylomas, in addition to external effects on neoplasms, should be carried out in combination with antiviral drugs, immunomodulators and vitamin supplements.

Using the medicine exclusively topically will not give the desired effect.

You should not self-medicate: all medications should be prescribed by a doctor, depending on the course, stage of the disease and its possible addition to other infections.

Use of Acyclovir for papillomas? Efficiency, recommendations

Acyclovir for papillomas is an advanced drug for the treatment of growths. It is very popular not only among adults, but also among pediatric patients.

As is known, the medicinal method of external treatment of warts is effective only in the early stages of the development of the disease. For this reason, acyclovir manufacturers produce not only ointment for external use, but also tablets.

Thus providing comprehensive protection for the human body.

Origin and nature of infection

Papilloma is a viral disease associated with accelerated growth of epithelial skin cells. This disease is characterized by the appearance of convex tumors that cause discomfort.

This is due to the unevenness of the surface of the formation and its thin base (pedicle), which is the main center of the random breakage of the papilloma from the surface of the skin.

The color of the growth is always ambiguous: it varies from whitish-flesh to dark brown.

It is very easy to become infected with the human papillomavirus. To do this, a person just needs to touch the open wound or mucous membrane to the source of the interlocutor’s lesion. For many years the disease can proceed secretly. And with a strong immune system, it won’t come into action at all.

Important! If the disease begins to manifest itself with the appearance of growths and other unpleasant symptoms, then you should immediately seek help from a doctor! After all, there are many cases of degeneration of benign growths into a cancerous tumor!

How to treat papilloma virus

papillomavirus can be cured through long-term drug therapy, surgery, or folk remedies. The second method is more common. It includes many advanced ways to get rid of warts. This:

• Laser treatment.
• Electrocoagulation.
• Cryotherapy.
• Surgical excision.
• Radio wave treatment.

The popularity of these methods of getting rid of growths is due to their short duration, minimal risk of recurrence of the disease and the complete exclusion of the occurrence of cancer.

But, despite the positive aspects of surgical treatment methods, they have their contraindications and possible postoperative complications. That is why, sometimes it is better to use a special series of drugs to destroy the human papillomavirus.

Drug treatment is highly effective at the initial stage of the disease.

Folk remedies for treating growths are extremely rarely effective. The positive effect of such treatment can be seen only at the initial stage of the onset of the disease. It is worth noting that the compositions of home recipes are not always individually tolerated. An allergic reaction to some of the ingredients in the composition can aggravate the brewing problem. Therefore, you should not self-medicate!

Acyclovir is an antiviral drug that suppresses the activity of herpes and human papillomaviruses. It is available in the form of tablets and ointments for external use. This facilitates the treatment process and creates a complete course for getting rid of unwanted growths.

But even comprehensive treatment cannot guarantee the complete disappearance of the virus.

To create maximum uncomfortable conditions for the virus to survive, it is necessary to: get rid of bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.), eat right, strictly observe the rules of personal hygiene, toughen up and play sports, and take a course of vitamin and mineral complexes on time.

Acyclovir for warts is an effective medicine. It has a stimulating effect on the human immune system. Which is very important in the treatment of neoplasms. After all, weakened immunity is the main cause of the disease.

Treatment of warts with Acyclovir

It is used in the form of ointments and tablets. Acyclovir can be used in the genital area. If the ointment does not help, switch to tablets.

If redness appears while applying Acyclovir ointment to the wart, this indicates an allergic reaction. In this case, you should stop smearing the wart with this drug.

Many dermatologists treat warts with interferons, such as cycloferon or neoferon.   

Acyclovir has been used very successfully against warts. It not only helps get rid of the growth, but also regenerates the skin in its place. But it is necessary to treat warts according to the recommendations of doctors, because with a combination of unfavorable factors, a wart can turn into a malignant formation.

Features of the use of Acyclovir

Each time you use the ointment, you must first wash your hands and the area of ​​skin being treated. Then you need to apply the ointment in a circular motion, without pressing and do not put on clothes for several minutes until the ointment dries. You need to do this 5 times a day. Treatment of warts with Acyclovir cannot last more than two weeks.

After this, you need to consult a doctor who will advise which drug to continue treatment with, if necessary.

The doctor may suggest switching to Acyclovir tablets , usually at a dosage of 200 mg, but there are tablets of 400 mg or 800 mg. An overdose of the drug is expressed by redness and irritation of the skin around the wart.

Acyclovir ointment is best stored in the refrigerator because it contains natural, purified chicken fat. It warms up quickly on the skin.

Acyclovir ointment for warts is better than all other drugs used for these purposes:

• it is inexpensive;
• it can be bought at any pharmacy;
• unlike other ointments, it does not have an unpleasant odor;
• it has a high cure rate.

Large warts cannot be treated with Acyclovir . Self-medication in this case is very dangerous. No one is guaranteed against malignant tumors. In this case, contacting a dermatologist is mandatory. Papillomavirus, or small warts, are common.

Acyclovir, as an antiviral agent, copes with them in 4-7 days. If several warts have appeared, which a person has not had before, the reason for the appearance of a scattering of small warts should be immediately found out from a dermatologist. A person should under no circumstances self-medicate in such seemingly minor cases.   

Traditional medicine has long removed warts with celandine juice; 2-3 procedures are enough and the wart disappears. Cosmetologists offer a variety of expensive methods for removing warts. In comparison, Acyclovir is a couple of orders of magnitude cheaper and is a safer means of removing warts.

All methods for removing warts do not take into account their viral nature. Therefore, getting rid of one wart does not guarantee the appearance of another. Acyclovir as an antiviral drug solves this problem in a complex.

Acyclovir for warts and papillomas

Acyclovir is an antiviral drug that is used to eliminate pathologies caused by the herpes virus. There are different ways for the papilloma virus to enter the human body, and formations that arise on the surface of the skin require mandatory treatment. Often they do not cause a person any discomfort and do not pose a threat to his health, but at the same time they spoil his appearance. Often, patients who have been diagnosed with the papilloma virus are prescribed Acyclovir for warts.

Characteristics of the drug

The main form of release of a drug such as Acyclovir is an ointment. You can buy it at almost any pharmacy, and the price is quite affordable. The ointment contains the following components:

• acyclovir
• polyethylene oxide
• refined chicken fat
• water
• emulsifier.

The use of Acyclovir ointment against emerging warts allows you to achieve not only an antiviral effect, but also has a stimulating effect on the immune system, which allows you to speed up the patient’s recovery.

Acyclovir acquires its activity only after it penetrates cells infected with the virus. In them, it is converted by viral thymidine kinase into acyclovir triphosphate.

It is this that becomes the active component, under the influence of which the reproduction of the virus is suppressed due to penetration into the viral DNA.

Instructions for use

When treating warts with Acyclovir ointment, it is necessary to lubricate the skin several times a day. It is possible to achieve a quick positive effect of treatment if the wart was diagnosed at the initial stage of its development.

The attached instructions state that the course of treatment with the ointment should last at least 5 days, but no more than 10 days.

The fact is that long-term use of such a drug can cause severe peeling of the skin. Thanks to Acyclovir, it is possible to get rid of formations localized on the face and different parts of the body.

In addition, the use of ointment does not cause tissue scarring, so it can be safely applied to open areas of the body and the genital area.

Acyclovir ointment is considered an effective remedy in the fight against papillomas and warts on the skin. At the same time, the course of treatment should include taking various vitamin complexes and minerals that help increase the body's defenses.

Contraindications to the drug

Acyclovir ointment, like any other drug, can provoke the development of an allergic reaction. It is for this reason that the patient must inform the doctor that he has an individual intolerance to such a drug. If a red rash appears on the skin and severe itching, you should immediately stop using Acyclovir ointment.

Experts do not recommend using Acyclovir ointment for warts by women during pregnancy. The fact is that the active components present in the ointment are absorbed into the blood and can pose a danger to the developing fetus.

The period of breastfeeding is also considered a contraindication to the use of ointment for the treatment of warts on the surface of the skin.

Long-term use of Acyclovir against papillomas may cause slight burning and itching in the area of ​​the body where the growths are located. The attached instructions prohibit applying this medicine to the skin around the eyes and mucous membranes. If Acyclovir gets into the organs of vision, severe burning and conjunctivitis may develop.

Variety of medicines

Interferons help to achieve a quick effect in the fight against the HPV virus, therefore they are widely used in complex therapy against warts. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the papilloma virus affects the mucous membranes and skin, therefore the systematic treatment of papillomas and warts must be supplemented with the use of local forms of the drug. This allows you to increase the effectiveness of drug therapy and speed up the patient’s recovery.

For the treatment of papillomas and warts, the use of certain drugs from the interferon group is recommended:

1. Cycloferon is considered an effective drug in the fight against the papilloma virus and increases the body's protective properties. It is possible to achieve a positive treatment effect only if you take Cycloferon according to a certain regimen. The drug is highly toxic, therefore Cycloferon is contraindicated in the treatment of warts in children and during pregnancy. The main form of release of Cycloferon is considered to be an ointment or cream that must be applied to the lesion. Treatment for HPV with such a drug is necessary after consultation with a specialist, since Cycloferon can cause the development of side effects.
2. Neovir is an immunostimulating drug that is used as part of a combination treatment for pathologies caused by HPV. This medicine is administered intramuscularly, and the dosage is determined by a specialist. This remedy is not recommended for the treatment of papillomas and warts for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The insidiousness of the papilloma virus lies in the fact that once it enters the human body, it remains there forever.

Treatment of papillomas and warts on the skin can be carried out using drugs from the interferon group, among which Acyclovir, Cycloferon and Neovir are considered the most effective.

It is important not only to remove the external manifestations of the disease, but also to eliminate the factor that provoked the appearance of warts and papillomas.
