Acyclovir Capsules	200mg	100Capsules/box

• Acyclovir capsules are a form of the antiviral medication acyclovir, which is commonly used to treat infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It belongs to the class of medications known as nucleoside analogues, which work by inhibiting the replication of viral DNA, thereby reducing the severity and duration of herpes virus infections. Acyclovir capsules are available in various strengths and are typically used for the treatment of genital herpes, herpes labialis (cold sores), and herpes zoster (shingles).

Indications:

• Genital Herpes: Acyclovir capsules are commonly used for the treatment of genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2. Treatment with acyclovir can help reduce the severity and duration of genital herpes outbreaks, as well as the frequency of recurrent episodes.

• Herpes Labialis (Cold Sores): Acyclovir is also indicated for the treatment of herpes labialis, commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters. Topical acyclovir formulations are often used for this purpose, but oral acyclovir capsules may be prescribed for severe or recurrent cases.

• Herpes Zoster (Shingles): Acyclovir capsules are effective for the treatment of herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles, which is caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Early initiation of treatment with acyclovir can help reduce the severity and duration of shingles rash and associated pain.

Dosage and Administration:
 

• Acyclovir capsules are taken orally with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and severity of the herpes infection being treated.

• It is important to complete the full course of treatment prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished, to ensure that the infection is fully controlled and to prevent the development of drug-resistant strains of the virus.

Precautions and Consultation:

• Acyclovir is generally well-tolerated, but it may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness in some individuals.

• Patients with a history of kidney disease or compromised immune function may require dose adjustments or monitoring while taking acyclovir.

• Acyclovir may interact with certain medications, so it is important to inform the prescribing healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and herbal products being taken.
