General
Contact Sensitization
Adverse Reactions
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug, and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
In five double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, 1,124 patients were treated with Zovirax Cream and 1,161 with placebo (vehicle) cream. Local application site reactions were reported by 5% of patients receiving Zovirax Cream and 4% of patients receiving placebo. The most common adverse reactions at the site of topical application were dry lips, desquamation, dryness of skin, cracked lips, burning skin, pruritus, flakiness of skin, and stinging on skin; each adverse reaction occurred in less than 1% of patients receiving Zovirax Cream and placebo. Three patients on Zovirax Cream and one patient on placebo discontinued treatment due to an adverse event.
An additional study, enrolling 22 healthy adults, was conducted to evaluate the dermal tolerance of Zovirax Cream compared with vehicle using single occluded and semi-occluded patch testing methodology. Both Zovirax Cream and placebo showed a high and cumulative irritation potential. Another study, enrolling 251 healthy adults, was conducted to evaluate the contact sensitization potential of Zovirax Cream using repeat insult patch testing methodology. Of 202 evaluable subjects, possible cutaneous sensitization reactions were observed in the same 4 (2%) subjects with both Zovirax Cream and placebo, and these reactions to both Zovirax Cream and placebo were confirmed in 3 subjects upon rechallenge. The sensitizing ingredient(s) has not been identified.
The safety profile in patients 12 to 17 years of age was similar to that observed in adults.
Postmarketing Experience
In addition to adverse events reported from clinical trials, the following events have been identified during post-approval use of acyclovir cream. Because they are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of frequency cannot be made. These events have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of their seriousness, frequency of reporting, or potential causal connection to acyclovir cream.
General: Angioedema, anaphylaxis.
Drug Interactions
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy
Acyclovir was not teratogenic in the mouse, rabbit, or rat at exposures greatly in excess of human exposure.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether topically applied acyclovir is excreted in breast milk. Systemic exposure following topical administration is minimal.
However, after oral administration of ZOVIRAX, acyclovir concentrations have been documented in breast milk in two women and ranged from 0.6 to 4.1 times the corresponding plasma levels. These concentrations would potentially expose the nursing infant to a dose of acyclovir up to 0.3 mg/kg/day. Nursing mothers who have active herpetic lesions near or on the breast should avoid nursing.
Pediatric Use
An open-label, uncontrolled trial with Zovirax Cream 5% was conducted in 113 patients aged 12 to 17 years with recurrent herpes labialis. In this trial, therapy was applied using the same dosing regimen as in adults and subjects were followed for adverse events. The safety profile was similar to that observed in adults. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Overdosage
Overdosage by topical application of Zovirax Cream is unlikely because of minimal systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. There is no information available for overdose.
