[The results of using Virolex (acyclovir) in patients with herpetic keratitis].
Virolex (acyclovir) used as 3% ointment in 50 patients (50 eyes) with herpetic keratitis was found highly effective in dendritic keratitis and sufficiently effective in keratoiridocyclitis with ulcerations (megaherpetic keratitis), providing cure in 92 and 75%, of cases, respectively. The drug is ineffective in the treatment of stromal herpetic keratitis not associated with corneal ulcers. 3% virolex ointment application in superficial forms of herpetic keratitis is more effective than instillations of 0.1% keracide.
