PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Valacyclovir is the L-valyl ester prodrug of Acyclovir, offering superior oral bioavailability and enhanced dosing convenience. It is widely used for the treatment and suppression of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) types 1 & 2, Herpes Zoster (shingles), and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV).

By converting to Acyclovir in the body, it works by inhibiting viral DNA replication. Its once- or twice-daily regimen improves patient compliance and makes it a preferred option in both acute and long-term therapy.

Manufactured in globally certified WHO-GMP and ISO-compliant facilities, these tablets are ideal for international procurement by hospital chains, government agencies, and humanitarian healthcare providers.
