the Pharmacological

Pharmacokinetics At properties external use is practically not soaked up in a system blood stream and has no systemic action. When putting ointment on an affected area of skin in it therapeutic concentration of drug which is maintained at the constant level not less than 5 hours is created.

A pharmacodynamics
Gerpevir – an analog of a purine nucleoside of a dezoksiguanidin – the DNA component (deoxyribonucleic acid). Drug is especially effective concerning viruses of a herpes simplex and shingles. The similarity of structures of a gerpevir and dezoksiguanidin allows it to interact with virus enzymes that leads to interruption of a cycle of reproduction of a virus. After implementation of a gerpevir in the cell affected with herpes under the influence of the thymidinekinase allocated by a virus it turns into acyclovir-monophosphate. Atsiklovir-monofosfat enzymes of a cell of the owner turns into acyclovir-diphosphate. Then, its transformation into an active form acyclovir-triphosphate which selectively blocks synthesis of virus DNA is carried out. Acyclovir-triphosphate practically does not influence DNA replication of a cell of the owner (person).
