Zimivir 1000 Tablet

Zimivir 1000 Tablet is an antiviral medicine used in the treatment of infections caused by the herpes virus. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as shingles (herpes zoster), genital herpes, and cold sores. It works by slowing down the growth and spread of the virus in the body, helping to reduce symptoms and speed up recovery. While it controls the infection, it does not completely cure it or prevent it from spreading to others.

This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with meals may help reduce the chance of stomach upset. The dose and duration depend on the type and severity of infection. For best results, it is important to start treatment as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms. Do not skip doses and complete the full course even if you start feeling better.

Possible side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and skin rash. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist or become troublesome. Drink plenty of fluids during treatment to help prevent kidney problems.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney disease or are taking other medications, especially those affecting the kidneys. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take this medicine only if prescribed by their doctor.
