Acivir 400 DT Tablet

Product Overview

Acivir 400 DT Tablet is an antiviral medication that helps in managing 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 human cells, which aids in clearing the infection.

This tablet should be taken according to your doctor’s instructions, without missing doses, and the entire course should be completed even if you start feeling better. Before taking it, dissolve the tablet in a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but using it at the same time daily is preferable. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible unless it’s nearly time for the next dose—then skip it and continue with the schedule. Avoid doubling the dose. Drinking plenty of fluids during treatment helps prevent dehydration and supports kidney health.

Possible Side Effects

Some common side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and fever. These effects are generally temporary and subside as your body adjusts to the medication. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, discuss with your doctor before starting this treatment.
