Overview Dclovir 500mg Injection

Aciclovir 500mg Injection is an antiviral medication used to manage various viral infections, including cold sores (herpes labialis), herpes simplex, shingles (herpes zoster), genital herpes, and chickenpox.

Adequate hydration is crucial during treatment to minimize the risk of dehydration and potential kidney complications. Potential adverse effects may include nausea, vomiting, and elevated liver enzymes. Local injection site reactions such as pain, swelling, or redness are also possible.
