What are antiviral medicines?

Viruses are very common that have become so common that there is an increased need to treat them. They can be caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), type 2 (HSV-2) and can be used to treat viral infections like cold sores and genital herpes.

What are the signs and symptoms of HSV-1?

HSV-1 is an immunodominant virus that is the most common cause of genital herpes, especially in young people. It is spread through contact with the infected area. This is a type of infection.

Viruses are spread through the nose (the mouth) or mouth (the genitals). They are also spread through contact with the eyes, nose or genitals.

HSV-1 can cause blisters on the genitals and a cold sore or a sore on the nose. It can be caused by HSV-1 infection of the eyes, nose or genitals.

How do antivirals work?

Antiviral drugs are used to treat viral infections, usually in combination with antivirals. A doctor or nurse can prescribe antivirals or antivirals plus an antiviral medicine to you.

There are a number of different types of antivirals available to treat viral infections. The main types of antivirals used to treat viral infections are:

• Valacyclovir (Zovirax)

• Terfenadine (Terramycin)

• Loperamide (Lomitrol)

• Cimetidine (Tagamet)

• Mirtazapine (Remeron)

How can I help me get the antiviral medication I need?

Zovirax (Acyclovir) Medication Information:

What is Zovirax?

Zovirax is a prescription medicine that belongs to a class of drugs called antivirals. Zovirax contains aciclovir as its active ingredient and has potent antiviral activity. This medication is mainly used for the treatment of viral infections like genital herpes, cold sores, and chickenpox.

Benefits and uses of Zovirax:

• Doctors generally prescribe Zovirax to treat initial episodes of genital herpes and to suppress the frequent recurrence of genital herpes. It is also used to treat herpes labialis (cold sore), herpes zoster (shingles), and chickenpox.
• Zovirax does not cure the viral disease but it reduces your symptoms and the severity of the infection. It helps to decrease pain and itching, speed up sore healing, and prevent new sore formation.
• In people with genital herpes, Zovirax does not protect against the spread of the virus to others. You can spread the virus even if you do not have symptoms. Therefore always use an effective barrier method such as condoms or dental dams during all sexual activity.

How to use Zovirax?

If you are diagnosed with the herpes virus, start the therapy as soon as possible or at the first sign of an outbreak. Your doctor may prescribe you Zovirax tablets depending on your age and medical condition. The tablets are taken orally with or without food.

Recommended dosage:

• For genital herpes:The initial recommended dosage is one 200mg tablet every 4 hours 5 times daily. Use it for no more than 4 days. Consult with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 4 days.
• For suppression of recurrent genital herpes:The initial recommended dosage is 200mg three times daily. If conditions do not improve, the dosage can be increased to five times daily.
• For chickenpox:Not more than 800mg 4 times daily for five days. Start the therapy within 24 hours once the rash appears.
• For herpes zoster:800mg of Zovirax every 4 hours, 5 times daily for 7 to 10 days. Start the therapy within 72 hours of the onset of lesions.

Take the medication at the same times every day for maximum benefit. Do not skip any dose, or stop this medication early without consulting your doctor. Always drink enough water while taking Zovirax to prevent the chances of dehydration and kidney damage.
