Zovirax Suspension

Product Overview

Zovirax Suspension is a medication containing the active ingredient Aciclovir, formulated as an oral suspension. This antiviral medication is specially designed to treat viral infections caused by the herpes simplex virus, including cold sores (herpes labialis) and genital herpes. Zovirax Suspension offers a convenient and effective solution for managing herpes outbreaks, providing relief from symptoms and promoting faster healing.

Uses

Zovirax Suspension is indicated for the treatment of viral infections caused by the herpes simplex virus, including cold sores (herpes labialis) and genital herpes. By inhibiting the replication of the herpes virus, Aciclovir in Zovirax Suspension helps reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks, relieving symptoms such as pain, itching, and tingling.

How to Use

Shake the bottle of Zovirax Suspension well before each use. Use the provided measuring spoon or syringe to accurately measure the prescribed dose of the suspension.

It is essential to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the treatment is completed.

How it Works

Aciclovir, the active ingredient in Zovirax Suspension, works by inhibiting the activity of viral DNA polymerase, an enzyme essential for the replication of the herpes simplex virus. By blocking viral replication, Zovirax Suspension helps suppress the spread of the virus and reduces the severity and duration of herpes outbreaks, allowing the body’s immune system to control the infection and promote healing.
