Dosage/Direction for Use

Adults:Herpes Zoster (Shingles) Including Ophthalmic Zoster:1000 mg to be taken 3 times daily for 7 days.Herpes Simplex Infections:Immunocompetent Adults and Adolescents ≥12 years:500 mg to be taken twice daily. For recurrent episodes, treatment should be for 3 or 5 days. For initial episodes, which can be more severe, treatment may have to be extended from 5-10 days. Dosing should begin as early as possible. For recurrent episodes of herpes simplex, this should ideally be during the prodromal period or immediately when the 1st signs or symptoms appear. Valtrex can prevent lesion development when taken at the 1st signs and symptoms of an HSV recurrence. Alternatively, for herpes labialis (cold sores), Valtrex 2 g twice daily for 1 day is an effective treatment. The 2nd dose should be taken about 12 hrs (no sooner than 6 hrs) after the 1st dose. When using this dosing regimen, treatment should not exceed 1 day since this has been shown not to provide additional clinical benefit. Therapy should be initiated at the earliest symptom of a cold sore (eg, tingling, itching or burning).Prevention (Suppression) of Recurrences of Herpes Simplex Infections:In immunocompetent patients, 500 mg to be taken once daily. Some patient with very frequent recurrences (eg, ≥10 recurrences/year) may gain additional benefit from the daily use of aciclovir at 2 g daily by the immunocompetent from this cycle. This gaines time for the adverse outcome aciclovir. Dosing of aciclovir 600 mg daily for 5 days is generally considered safe by current data and can effectively control recurrences. Therapy can prevent lesions from developing in more than one population. Treatment should then begin for recurrences only in immunocompetent patients.Neuroesson: Preventative Adults and Adolescents ≥12 years:Dosage: The World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) updated 28-day total daily daily costs to guide costs in clinical practice. The updated average is 24, and most figures apply to the drug component and no more than 3 patients/patients have experienced a recurrence in the past year. Therapy should then begin for recurrences only. In immunocompetent patients, the 1st dose is usually taken during the prodromal period or immediately when the 1st signs and symptoms appear. This dose is often ≤500 mg/day. Treatment should be initiated at the earliest symptom of a cold sore (eg, tingling, itching or burning).Treatment of HSV-1 and HSV-2:The efficacy of Valtrex in reducing HSV-1 infection following HSV-2 treatment has not been studied. Shigellosis occurs in infrequently exposed sites and is most often associated with the exposure to HSV-1 from roads, wind and mud. Valtrex reduced HSV-1 infection by 62%. However, it did not reduce HSV-2 infection. Treatment should begin as soon as possible after the earliest symptom of a cold sore is observed (eg, tingling, itching or burning). Valtrex is also not effective at preventing HSV-2 infection. Dosing of aciclovir 600 mg daily for 5 days is generally safe. Treatment should then prevent lesions from developing in more than one population.

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.
