Acivir IV Injection

Product Introduction
Acivir IV Injection is an antiviral medication used to manage infections caused by viruses, including herpes labialis (cold sores), shingles, genital herpes, chickenpox, and other herpes simplex virus infections. It works by inhibiting the replication of viruses in human cells, helping the body clear the infection effectively.
