Description

Acylex 400mg Tablets, manufactured by Ferozsons, are an effective antiviral treatment designed to combat viral infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Each tablet contains 400mg of Acyclovir, which works by interfering with the virus's ability to replicate in the body. This helps manage outbreaks of genital herpes, shingles, and chickenpox, reducing symptoms and speeding up recovery. Available in a pack of 2 strips of 10 tablets each, Acylex is an essential medication for individuals who suffer from these common viral infections.

Functions

Acylex functions by inhibiting the replication of the herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus. By preventing the virus from multiplying, it helps reduce the severity and duration of symptoms such as pain, itching, and inflammation associated with conditions like genital herpes, chickenpox, and shingles. While Acylex does not cure these viral infections, it plays an important role in controlling outbreaks, relieving symptoms, and reducing the risk of recurrent episodes.

Precautions

Acylex should be used with caution in individuals with kidney issues, as the drug can affect renal function. Staying well-hydrated (about 2-3 liters of water per day) is crucial during treatment to prevent dehydration and kidney damage. The medication should also be used with caution in elderly patients, as they may be more susceptible to side effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Acylex, as the safety of this drug in these populations is not fully established.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Acylex may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, headache, and dizziness. In some cases, patients may experience skin rashes or increased sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity). Serious but rare side effects can include confusion, hallucinations, kidney issues (such as changes in urine output), and liver problems like jaundice or hepatitis. If any unusual symptoms occur, such as swelling, severe rash, or difficulty urinating, it’s important to seek immediate medical attention.

Cautions

Acylex should not be used in patients who are dehydrated or have severe kidney dysfunction, as it can exacerbate these conditions. It is also contraindicated for individuals who are allergic to Acyclovir or similar antiviral medications like Penciclovir. For those with a history of kidney issues, the dosage may need to be adjusted, and the patient's kidney function should be closely monitored. Since Acyclovir does not cure herpes or prevent transmission, it is advised to avoid sexual intercourse if visible lesions are present to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.
