Description

Acyprove 400 is formulated with Aciclovir 400mg, a well-established antiviral agent that selectively targets virus-infected cells.

It is commonly prescribed for:

Genital herpes (initial and recurrent episodes)

Cold sores (herpes labialis)

Shingles (herpes zoster)

Chickenpox

Suppressive therapy for recurrent herpes infections

Aciclovir does not cure herpes but helps control outbreaks and reduce viral replication. Early initiation at the first sign of symptoms significantly improves outcomes.

 

Usage Instructions

⚠️ Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly.

Take one 400 mg tablet as directed (usually 2–5 times daily depending on condition).

Swallow with a full glass of water.

Maintain adequate hydration.

Start treatment at the earliest sign of symptoms.

Complete the full prescribed course.

Dosage varies depending on infection type and severity.

 

Medicinal Advantages

When used appropriately, Acyprove 400 may:

Reduce duration of herpes outbreaks

Decrease pain and blister formation

Lower risk of complications

Reduce frequency of recurrent episodes (in suppressive therapy)

Improve quality of life in chronic HSV patients

Clinical studies confirm aciclovir’s effectiveness in managing herpes infections when started early.

Mechanism of Action

Aciclovir works by targeting viral DNA replication:

1️⃣ Converted into active aciclovir triphosphate inside infected cells
2️⃣ Inhibits viral DNA polymerase
3️⃣ Stops viral DNA chain elongation
4️⃣ Prevents virus multiplication

It selectively affects infected cells, minimizing damage to healthy cells.
