阿維A Acitretin

適應症

Acyclovir may be useful in treating herpes infections in a variety of avian species and in cats with corneal or conjunctival herpes infections. Its use in veterinary medicine is not well established, however, and it should be used with caution. Acyclovir has relatively mild activity against _Feline Herpesvirus-1_ when compared to some of the newer antiviral agents ( _e.g._, ganciclovir, cidofovir, or penciclovir). Acyclovir is being investigated as a treatment for equine herpes virus type-1 myeloencephalopathy in horses, but clinical efficacy has not yet been proven and the drug’s poor oral bioavailability is problematic. There continues to be interest in finding a dosing regimen that can achieve therapeutic levels and be economically viable, particularly since the drug’s use during a recent outbreak appeared to have some efficacy in reducing morbidity and mortality (not statistically proven). Also, intravenous acyclovir may be economically feasible to treat some neonatal foals.
