Zovirax (Acyclovir) Medication Information:

What is Zovirax?

Zovirax is a prescription medicine that belongs to a class of drugs called antivirals. Zovirax contains aciclovir as its active ingredient and has potent antiviral activity. This medication is mainly used for the treatment of viral infections like genital herpes, cold sores, and chickenpox.

Benefits and uses of Zovirax:

• Doctors generally prescribe Zovirax to treat initial episodes of genital herpes and to suppress the frequent recurrence of genital herpes. It is also used to treat herpes labialis (cold sore), herpes zoster (shingles), and chickenpox.
• Zovirax does not cure the viral disease but it reduces your symptoms and the severity of the infection. It helps to decrease pain and itching, speed up sore healing, and prevent new sore formation.
• In people with genital herpes, Zovirax does not protect against the spread of the virus to others. You can spread the virus even if you do not have symptoms. Therefore always use an effective barrier method such as condoms or dental dams during all sexual activity.

If you have been diagnosed with an infection and are taking Zovirax to treat your cold sore and you are experiencing symptoms, there are several treatment options available. These are listed below.

Below are some of the most effective treatment options available:

Aciclovir Tablets

• Aciclovir is available as a tablet, an oral tablet, or an oral suspension. It is usually taken by mouth with a full glass of water. Aciclovir tablets can be taken either as a single dose or in combination with other medications. The recommended dosage for adults is one dose a day, preferably in the morning. The maximum recommended adult dose is five tablets, taken every 12 hours. It is important to follow the directions on the prescription label carefully and to not exceed the recommended dose.

If you have any medical conditions, talk with your doctor before using Aciclovir tablets. They can help determine if the benefits of Aciclovir tablets outweigh the risks of the use of aciclovir in the treatment of cold sores.

If you are currently taking a prescription medicine, you should not use Aciclovir tablets without consulting your doctor before using the medication. This is because Aciclovir tablets can affect the effectiveness of certain medicines used in the treatment of cold sores.

How it works

Aciclovir works by blocking the action of an enzyme called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) that is responsible for producing the body's cGMP. This process causes the relaxation of smooth muscle in the blood vessels of the penis, allowing more blood to flow into the penis and causing an erection.

Benefits of this medication:

• Effective treatment of herpes virus infections: Aciclovir also fights the spread of viruses in the body.
• Improves blood flow to the penis by increasing the amount of cGMP.
• Enhances the effectiveness of sexual performance by addressing herpes virus infections and improving overall sexual health.
