Cyclovir 200mg Acyclovir Antiviral Tablets - 1 Strip of 10 Tablets
Severe viral outbreaks of Herpes Simplex (cold sores, genital herpes) and Herpes Zoster (shingles) cause intense nerve pain, burning blisters, and slow healing times. Cyclovir 200mg provides a highly specific, systemic antiviral defense. It is formulated with acyclovir active synthetic nucleoside analogue systemic antiviral medication. By actively interfering with the viral DNA polymerase enzyme, it prevents the virus from replicating inside human cells, significantly shortening the duration and severity of painful viral flare-ups.
How to Use / Operate
Take orally exactly as prescribed by your physician. It is indicated for acute treatment of mucocutaneous herpes simplex viral outbreaks. The dosage frequency is typically high (often 5 times a day) due to the drug's short half-life. Therapy is most effective when started within 24 to 48 hours of the first symptom (tingling or burning).
