Famciclovir6 bronnenop voorschrift — vraag je arts
About the substance
Guanine analogue (nucleoside analogue) that is converted into penciclovir as a prodrug; it inhibits viral DNA polymerase and thereby the replication of herpes viruses.

Valacyclovir6 bronnenop voorschrift — vraag je arts
About the substance
Valaciclovir is a prodrug of acyclovir, belonging to the antiviral nucleoside analogues. In the body, it is converted into acyclovir, which is phosphorylated by viral enzymes into an active form that blocks viral DNA polymerase. As a result, the virus cannot copy its genetic material and viral replication stops.
