CompositionAcirax 800 MG Tablet 10 is used to treat shingles (herpes zoster) and to manage severe or recurring episodes of genital herpes. In shingles patients, it is most effective when started within 72 hours of the first sign of a rash, as it significantly reduces the duration of pain and the risk of long-term nerve pain (post-herpetic neuralgia). It is also used to treat chickenpox in high-risk patients to prevent complications.
This medication contains Acyclovir, a potent antiviral. It works by interfering with the DNA replication process of the virus. While it cannot "cure" the virus (as the virus remains dormant in the body), it stops the virus from multiplying during an active outbreak. This allows the sores to heal faster, prevents new sores from forming, and reduces the viral shedding that leads to transmission.
Take this tablet with a full glass of water, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. It is essential to stay very well-hydrated throughout the day while taking high doses of Acyclovir to protect your kidneys. Complete the entire course even if your skin lesions begin to clear up early. Inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing kidney disorders, as your dosage may need adjustment.
