Aciclovir 400mg is an antiviral medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as nucleoside analogues. It works by inhibiting the growth and spread of the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which causes herpes infections.

Available in convenient oral form, these tablets offer effective relief from conditions such as genital herpes, cold sores, chickenpox, and shingles.

Benefits To treat shingles,  herpes virus infections. 

How Aciclovir 400mg Works:

Aciclovir, the active ingredient in these tablets, functions as a nucleoside analogue. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the replication of viral DNA within infected cells. 

When the herpes virus enters the body, it hijacks healthy cells and replicates its DNA to spread the infection. Aciclovir works by mimicking one of the building blocks of viral DNA, which the virus incorporates into its genetic material during replication. 

However, once Aciclovir is inserted into the viral DNA, it effectively terminates the DNA chain, preventing further replication. This disruption halts the spread of the virus and allows the body's immune system to control and clear the infection.
