Description
Acyclovir 400 mg tablets are an antiviral medication widely used to manage and treat infections caused by the herpes virus family. These include herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus, and, in some cases, Epstein-Barr virus infections. The primary indication of this medication is to reduce the severity and duration of viral outbreaks, particularly in conditions like genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chickenpox.
Each tablet contains 400 mg of the active ingredient acyclovir, which works by inhibiting viral DNA replication. This mechanism targets only virus-infected cells, minimizing the replication of the virus and preventing its spread. While it does not cure herpes infections, it helps reduce the frequency of outbreaks and alleviates symptoms, making it a vital component in managing chronic viral conditions.
Acyclovir 400 mg is typically administered orally and is available in bottles containing 100 tablets. The dosage and duration of therapy depend on the severity of the infection, the patient’s medical history, and their response to treatment. It is commonly prescribed for acute outbreaks and as a prophylactic treatment to prevent recurrent episodes in patients with frequent flare-ups.
