Aciclovir 400mg tablets in the form of tabletsActive Ingredients:
Aciclovir is used to treat cold sores ( blisters, ulcers) caused by infections with the common name blisters, such as cold sores (i.e., colds and flu symptoms). Aciclovir prevents the viruses that cause these conditions from multiplying and spreading. In these cases, aciclovir is used to treat them.
Aciclovir is an antiviral agent and is effective in treating patients with cold sores. Aciclovir is also effective in treating genital herpes infections, and in reducing the symptoms of these conditions. It works by preventing the spread of the virus that causes cold sores.
No, aciclovir and other antivirals should be used in conjunction with dexrazapine. This drug helps to reduce symptoms and speeds the healing of cold sores.
If cold sores are caused by the common cold, then aciclovir is an effective treatment. However, cold sores are contagious and require treatment without first following a doctor's advice.
Most people do not get side effects with an antiviral medication. However, some common side effects include the following:
If you experience a serious side effect, stop taking aciclovir and ask your doctor to switch you to another medication. You can also try stopping allop "Cold Sore Cream" and replace the formula if your doctor has advised you to do so.
The recommended doses of aciclovir for cold sores are 1 tablet (200 mg) three times a day for 5 days. The doses can be increased to 10 mg or decreased to 1 tablet (200 mg) three times a day for 5 days.
Cold sores are contagious blisters that usually appear 3 to 5 days after the first infection.
Cold sores are caused by the herpes viruses 1, 2, and 3, and can be treated with antiviral medication such as aciclovir or into-and-ointment. In fact, cold sores are the most common form of herpes, with 1 to 5% of all infections being caused by the herpes viruses.
1 tablet three times a day for 5 days
3 tablets twice daily for 5 days
More than 3 out of 4 women have reported painful menstruation in the past year. You should also speak to your doctor if you have ever had any of the following symptoms:
If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking aciclovir and ask your doctor to switch you to another medication and resume the familiar activity.
Aciclovir is an active ingredient in the antiviral medication, and is commonly used after the first symptoms of cold sores have been relieved by the use of an antiviral agent.
However, other antiviral medications may be more effective. In the case of aciclovir, the main active ingredient is propylene glycol, which inhibits the virus from replicating and spreading.
You should always use the lowest possible dose of Aciclovir in a patient with recurrent genital herpes. There are no guarantees that a lower dose will work, but some patients may have a better chance of achieving an effective result when used in combination with antiviral treatment.
