ACIVIR

Acivir IV Injection is an antiviral medicine used to treat various viral infections, including herpes labialis, herpes simplex virus infections, shingles, genital herpes infection, and chickenpox. Its mechanism of action involves preventing the multiplication of viruses within human cells, thereby aiding in the clearance of the infection.

Acivir IV Injection is to be administered by a healthcare professional as an injection; self-administration is not permitted. It is given by slow intravenous (I.V.) infusion over a 1-hour period to minimize the risk of kidney damage. While on this treatment, it is advised to drink plenty of water, as this helps prevent dehydration and kidney damage.

Potential side effects include vomiting, nausea, and increased liver enzymes. Localized reactions at the injection site, such as pain, swelling, or redness, may also occur. If these side effects persist for an extended duration, you should inform your doctor. Additionally, if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor
