The intravenous sodium salt form of acyclovir, used in hospital settings to treat severe or life-threatening herpes virus infections, including herpes encephalitis, neonatal herpes, and severe chickenpox in immunocompromised patients. It delivers the same antiviral action as oral acyclovir but at higher concentrations achievable through the bloodstream. Adequate hydration during infusion is important to protect the kidneys from crystallization of the drug.
