Aciclovir 400mg tablets treat herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, including genital herpes and cold sores. They also effectively manage herpes zoster (shingles) outbreaks and prevent recurrence.
For genital herpes, these tablets reduce the duration and severity of outbreaks. Similarly, they shorten the duration of shingles pain and rash.
Suppressive therapy with Aciclovir 400mg can reduce the frequency of recurrent genital herpes outbreaks. This involves taking the medication daily, even without symptoms.
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific infection and your doctor’s recommendation. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
Note: Aciclovir doesn’t cure herpes infections; it manages symptoms and reduces outbreaks.
