Description:
Zovirax Suspension is an antiviral medication used to treat various viral infections, including herpes labialis, herpes simplex, shingles, genital herpes, and chickenpox. It works by inhibiting the multiplication of viruses within human cells, thereby aiding in the clearance of the infection from the body.
The medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, in the recommended dose and duration. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day for optimal results. Zovirax Suspension should be dissolved in a glass of water before consumption. It’s important not to skip doses and to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for the next dose—in which case, skip the missed dose and continue as usual. Do not double up on doses. Staying well-hydrated while on this medication is crucial, as it helps prevent dehydration and protects kidney function.
Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and fever. These side effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor before starting this medication.
