Acyclovir is an antiviral drug that treats herpes infections. Learn about the common, mild, and serious side effects of acyclovir, such as diarrhea, rash, kidney problems, and allergic reactions.
Acyclovir-induced neurotoxicity: concentration-side effect relationship in acyclovir overdose. Neurologic acyclovir toxicity in the absence of kidney injury.
A well-known side effect of acyclovir is nephrotoxicity. The most common manifestation of acyclovir-induced kidney failure is an obstructive nephropathy caused by the intratubular precipitation of crystals and characterised by haematuria, pyuria and crystalluria.

Kidney disease Dehydration or kidney disease may increase blood levels of acyclovir, increasing the chance of side effects. Nervous system problems Acyclovir may make these problems worse. Proper use of acyclovir. Patient information about the treatment of herpes, chickenpox, or shingles is available with this medicine.
In addition to neurotoxicity, acute kidney injury is a well-described side effect of acyclovir administration, since crystal deposition may lead to the development of renal failure (4,5). The side-effects of acyclovir therapy are not well recognized by clinicians.
1. Introduction. Acute kidney injury is a well-described side effect of acyclovir, the most common mechanism being crystal nephropathy. Unfortunately, although the side-effects of acyclovir are well known, they are often underappreciated.
