Aciclovir Tablets

Active Ingredients: Aciclovir

Aciclovir (Acyclovir) Tablets are a drug used to treat viral infections such as chickenpox, shingles, cold sores around the mouth, and outbreaks of genital herpes. This medication may be used to prevent cytomegalovirus infections after transplant and severe infections caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.

Aciclovir does not cure infection from the virus, nor does it prevent transmission.

Aciclovir is a guanosine analog belonging to the class of medicines called antivirals. It works by stopping viral replication, which decreases the severity of symptoms and duration of illness. It is effective against infections caused by herpes simplex, varicella zoster, herpes zoster, and herpes labialis.
