Axovir 400 Mg Tablet 10 contains aciclovir (400 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Viral DNA synthesis inhibition: Aciclovir acts as a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue which inhibits viral DNA synthesis. This means it stops the virus from creating new copies of itself.
• Ceasing viral replication: Once converted into its active form within virus-infected cells, aciclovir triphosphate competitively inhibits and inactivates the viral DNA polymerase enzyme. This action halts further viral DNA synthesis without affecting normal cellular processes.
