PSYVIR 400MG TAB

Overview

PSYVIR 400MG TAB is a Schedule H drug.

PSYVIR 400MG TAB is composed of: ACYCLOVIR (400.0 MG)

Acyclovir is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus in the body. Acyclovir is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, such as genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chicken pox. It will not cure herpes, but it can lessen the symptoms of the infection. This medication is also used to treat outbreaks of genital herpes. In people with frequent outbreaks, acyclovir is used to help reduce the number of future episodes. It helps the sores heal faster, keeps new sores from forming, and decreases pain/itching. This medication may also help reduce how long pain remains after the sores heal. In addition, in people with a weakened immune system, acyclovir can decrease the risk of the virus spreading to other parts of the body and causing serious infections. Acyclovir is also sometimes used to treat eczema herpeticum, herpes infections of the skin, eyes, nose, and mouth in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and to treat oral hairy leukoplakia a condition that causes hairy white or gray-colored patches on the tongue or inside of the cheek. 

Usage

ACYCLOVIR is generally used to treat: Herpes, Cold Sores In Children, Shingles, Chickenpox, Genital Herpes, Eczema, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hairy Leukoplakia, Skin Rash
