Functions

Acylex 200mg Tablets inhibit the replication of herpes simplex and varicella-zoster viruses within human cells. This mechanism reduces symptom severity, limits viral spread, and shortens the duration of outbreaks. While Acylex does not cure herpes or chickenpox, it plays a vital role in managing symptoms, reducing flare-ups, and preventing recurrent episodes, making it an essential component of antiviral treatment plans.
