- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Area under the concentration-time curve of aciclovir in plasma over the time interval t0h to t12h (AUC0-12) up to 12 hours after drug administration Maximum measured concentration of aciclovir in plasma (Cmax) up to 12 hours after drug administration
- Secondary Outcome Measures
