Aciclovir Tablets
Aciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat genital herpes by targeting the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It works by inhibiting the viral DNA replication process, which helps to reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks. Regular use of aciclovir can also decrease the frequency of recurrent episodes. Additionally, it can lessen the risk of spreading the virus to others when used appropriately.

What are Aciclovir Tablets?
Aciclovir Tablets are an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by certain types of viruses, including the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). They are commonly prescribed for managing genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles. The active ingredient, aciclovir, works by inhibiting viral replication, which helps control the symptoms and reduce the severity of outbreaks.
How Do Aciclovir Tablets Work?
Aciclovir Tablets function by interfering with the viral DNA synthesis. Once inside the body, aciclovir is converted into its active form and targets the viral DNA polymerase enzyme, which is essential for the replication of the herpes virus. By blocking this enzyme, aciclovir prevents the virus from multiplying, thereby helping to manage and alleviate the symptoms of genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles.
How to Take Aciclovir Tablets
To use Aciclovir Tablets effectively, follow these guidelines:
- Dosage: For genital herpes treatment, the typical dosage is 200 mg taken five times a day for 5 to 10 days. For chronic suppressive therapy, the usual dose is 400 mg twice daily. The specific dosage may vary based on the severity of the infection and individual patient needs.
- Administration: Take the tablets with a full glass of water. Aciclovir can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or break it.
- Consistency: For best results, take Aciclovir at the same times each day to maintain consistent levels of the medication in your system. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if your symptoms improve before finishing the medication.
Who Should Use Aciclovir Tablets?
Aciclovir Tablets are suitable for adults and adolescents who need treatment for genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, or other viral infections caused by HSV or VZV. It is particularly effective for managing genital herpes outbreaks, reducing symptom severity, and minimizing the frequency of recurrences. Consult your healthcare provider if you are unsure about the use of Aciclovir, especially if you have other health conditions or are taking other medications.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
Aciclovir Tablets are generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience side effects. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, and dizziness. Rare but serious side effects can include kidney problems, severe allergic reactions, and neurological effects such as tremors or confusion.
To minimize side effects, adhere to the prescribed dosage and stay well-hydrated. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if you have symptoms of kidney problems (e.g., changes in urine output), contact your healthcare provider immediately. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of kidney disease or are taking other medications that affect kidney function.
