Penciclovir Sodium(CAT: I011697) is a synthetic antiviral drug used primarily to treat herpes simplex virus infections, including cold sores and genital herpes. It works by inhibiting the replication of the virus by interfering with viral DNA synthesis. Penciclovir sodium is the sodium salt form of penciclovir, which has improved solubility and bioavailability compared to the parent compound. Penciclovir Sodium is typically administered topically in the form of a cream or ointment and is absorbed into the affected area, where it is converted into its active form, penciclovir. It is generally well-tolerated, with localized skin reactions being the most common side effect.
