ACIVIR 200MG DT TABS

Description

Acivir 200mg DT Tablet is a dispersible tablet form of Acyclovir, designed to be dissolved in water before ingestion. This formulation is particularly useful for patients who have difficulty swallowing whole tablets, such as children or the elderly. The medication is commonly prescribed for:​

• Herpes Labialis (Cold Sores): Painful blisters around the mouth caused by the herpes simplex virus.​

• Genital Herpes: Painful blisters in the genital area caused by the herpes simplex virus.​

• Chickenpox: A viral infection characterized by itchy skin rashes and red spots.​

• Shingles (Herpes Zoster): A reactivation of the chickenpox virus, leading to a painful rash.​

Acyclovir works by interfering with the virus’s ability to replicate, thus reducing the severity and duration of symptoms.​
