FAQs on Herpavir Injection

Herpavir Injection is an antiviral medication targeting herpes simplex and varicella zoster viruses. While not curative, it alleviates symptoms and reduces the infection's duration by inhibiting viral replication and spread. The viruses remain in the body, but their activity is suppressed.
Herpavir Injection must be administered intravenously (I.V.) by a healthcare professional, never self-administered. Infusion should be slow, over one hour, to protect the kidneys. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your condition. Adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions for optimal results.
Herpes is contagious, even during Herpavir Injection treatment. Avoid contact between infected areas and others. Wash your hands often and avoid touching your eyes after touching an infected area. Practice safe sex, including condom use, and abstain from sex if you have genital sores or blisters.
While serious side effects are uncommon, immediately seek medical attention if you experience any, such as hives, a blistering or peeling rash, jaundice (yellow skin or eyes), unusual bleeding or bruising, fainting, seizures, breathing difficulties, hallucinations, or swelling of the face, tongue, lips, or throat.
Herpavir Injection may cause more side effects in individuals over 65 due to slower drug elimination by the kidneys. Elderly patients should increase water intake, undergo kidney function monitoring, receive reduced dosages, and be observed for neurological complications.
Multiple accidental oral intakes of Herpavir Injection over a few days can cause nausea, vomiting, confusion, and headache. Seek immediate medical attention if an overdose occurs.
Herpavir Injection may prove ineffective in patients with advanced HIV or compromised immune systems due to potential drug resistance. Lack of response to Herpavir Injection warrants investigation for drug resistance.
Herpavir injections may rarely cause hair loss, which typically resolves upon treatment cessation.
