Acyclovir Tablets are a well-established antiviral therapy used for the treatment and suppression of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, including genital herpes, shingles (herpes zoster), and varicella (chickenpox).

These tablets work by inhibiting viral DNA replication, thus reducing the severity and duration of outbreaks. Available in multiple strengths—200 MG, 400 MG, and 800 MG—Acyclovir is an essential medicine in global antiviral programs, emergency outbreak kits, and chronic viral care regimens.
