Sun Aciclovir 400mg Tablet is an antiviral medication containing Aciclovir as the active ingredient. This medication effectively treats viral infections caused by herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus, including cold sores, genital herpes, chickenpox, and shingles. Uses Sun Aciclovir 400mg treats and prevents viral infections caused by herpes viruses. It’s used for genital herpes outbreaks, cold sores, chickenpox in adults and children, shingles (herpes zoster), and preventing herpes recurrence in immunocompromised patients. Sun Aciclovir also reduces transmission risk between partners. Benefits Reduces duration and severity of herpes outbreaks Accelerates healing of viral lesions and blisters Decreases pain and discomfort from viral infections Prevents recurrent herpes episodes when used suppressive therapy Reduces viral shedding and transmission risk Effective against multiple herpes virus strains Shortens chickenpox recovery time in adults Helps prevent complications in immunocompromised patients Generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects How It Works Sun Aciclovir works by inhibiting viral DNA replication. Once inside infected cells, it’s converted to its active form by viral enzymes. The active drug then interferes with viral DNA polymerase, preventing the virus from reproducing and spreading to healthy cells, ultimately reducing infection severity and duration. Dosage Indication Standard Dosage Treatment Duration Genital Herpes 400mg 3× daily 5 days Cold Sores 400mg 5× daily 5 days Chickenpox/Shingles 800mg 5× daily 7 days Take Sun Aciclovir with plenty of water, with or without food. Start treatment as early as possible after symptom onset for best results. Duration of Action Sun Aciclovir begins working within hours of the first dose. Symptom improvement typically occurs within 24-48 hours. Lesion healing accelerates within 2-3 days of starting treatment. Maximum benefits are achieved when treatment begins within 72 hours of symptom onset. Side Effects Sun Aciclovir is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects include mild nausea, headache, dizziness, or skin rash. Some patients may experience fatigue or gastrointestinal upset. Serious side effects are rare but may include kidney problems with high doses or in dehydrated patients. Warning Maintain adequate hydration while taking Sun Aciclovir to prevent kidney problems. Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment or those taking other nephrotoxic medications. This medication treats symptoms but doesn’t cure herpes infections. Seek immediate medical attention for signs of allergic reactions or severe side effects. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Sun Aciclovir is generally considered safe during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risks. It’s commonly used to prevent neonatal herpes transmission during delivery. The medication passes into breast milk in small amounts but is usually considered compatible with breastfeeding under medical supervision. Interaction May increase risk of kidney problems when combined with other nephrotoxic drugs Probenecid may increase aciclovir blood levels Possible interaction with immunosuppressive medications May affect elimination when used with certain diuretics Generally has fewer drug interactions compared to other antivirals Precaution Use with caution in patients with kidney disease, dehydration, or neurological disorders. Elderly patients may require dose adjustments. Ensure adequate fluid intake during treatment. Inform sexual partners about herpes status as medication reduces but doesn’t eliminate transmission risk. Regular monitoring may be needed with long-term use. Important Information Sun Aciclovir reduces symptoms but doesn’t cure herpes infections. The virus remains dormant and may reactivate. Practice safe sex even during treatment as transmission is still possible. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children. Product Image Highlights Customer questions & answers Have a question about this product? Your question * Name * Email * Notify me when answered.
