CompositionTOPVIR 800 DT TABLET 10 is an antiviral medicine used to treat viral infections such as shingles (herpes zoster), genital herpes, and chickenpox. It helps reduce severe pain, speeds up the healing of sores, and decreases the risk of developing long-term nerve pain after shingles.
It contains aciclovir, which belongs to a class of medications called antivirals. It works by stopping the virus from multiplying and spreading within the body cells, thereby allowing the immune system to clear the infection effectively. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
To support your recovery, ensure you maintain high standards of personal hygiene to prevent spreading the virus to other areas of your body or to other people. Keeping the infected sores clean and dry, wearing loose clothing, and avoiding physical contact with the rashes will assist your healing.
