[Administration of acyclovir (virustatic) to cats]
1Medizinischen Tierklinik, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
Abstract:
Herpes felis infections belong to the feline viral rhinotracheitis complex. Acyclovir, a virustatic of the nucleoside-analogue-group, inhibits the in vitro replication of herpesvirus felis. Acyclovir (0.1% in isotonic saline solution) is well tolerated by cats when applied t.i.d. subcutaneously and has a high and long lasting plasma level. The treatment is not too expensive.
