FAQ's on Aclovir 200mg Tablet 10s

Will I get cured after taking Aclovir for shingles?

Aclovir is an antiviral medicine effective against herpes simplex and varicella zoster viruses. It does not cure infections caused by these viruses but helps to minimize the symptoms and shorten the duration of infection. It does not remove the viruses from the body but prevents the viruses from dividing and spreading.

These rare side effects include hives, blistering or peeling rash, yellow skin or eyes, unusual bruising or bleeding, loss of consciousness, fits, difficulty in breathing, hallucinations and swelling of the face, tongue, lips or throat.

Do elderly patients need to be more careful while taking Aclovir?

Older adults (over age 65 years) tend to experience more side effects when taking Aclovir. The reason being, their kidneys do not flush the drug out of their system as quickly as a younger person’s kidneys would do. Elderly patients should drink plenty of water while taking Aclovir, and their kidney function should be monitored. These patients should be given a lower dose and should be monitored for neurological problems.

Is hair loss caused due to Aclovir permanent?

Hair loss is an uncommon side effect of Aclovir. It stops when the medicine is discontinued.

Does Aclovir prevent transmission of infection to others?

You should not have sex if you have genital sores or blisters.
