• Viral DNA inhibition: When inside the body, aciclovir transforms into a more effective form known as aciclovir triphosphate. This form stops the herpes virus from replicating by inhibiting a crucial enzyme called viral DNA polymerase.
• Viral replication suppression: Aciclovir triphosphate is also incorporated into the viral DNA chain. This incorporation leads to chain termination, effectively suppressing further virus replication.
