Acyclovir as a Potential Add-on Therapy in COVID-19 Treatment Regimens

2021-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: There are successful reports of the concomitant management of herpes infection and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), using both acyclovir (ACV) and COVID-19 treatment regimens. Furthermore, ACV has been proposed to effectively treat COVID-19, through various mechanisms, such as inhibition of viral proteases, multiple viral gene expressions, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP). Therefore, this...
