Acivir 200 DT Tablet

Product Overview

Acivir 200 DT Tablet is an antiviral medicine used to treat viral infections such as cold sores (herpes labialis), genital herpes, shingles, chickenpox, and herpes simplex infections. It works by stopping the virus from multiplying within the cells, helping to control and clear the infection.

This tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Complete the full course even if you start feeling better, and do not skip doses. The tablet should be dissolved in a glass of water before consumption. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time daily is recommended. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for your next dose—then skip the missed one and continue as directed. Do not double the dose. Drinking plenty of water while on this treatment is essential to prevent dehydration and protect the kidneys.
