What Is Zovirax And Why Is It Used?

Zovirax is an antiviral medicine that blocks the action of the virus, which affects the skin, lips and genitals. It is effective in the treatment of shingles and chickenpox.

Indications for use

Zovirax tablets are indicated for viral infections of the skin and mucous membranes caused by herpes simplex virus (HPV), genital herpes, prevention of herpes infections in immunocompromised and immunodeficient people, varicella (chickenpox), herpes zoster.

Dosage and use of Zovirax

Zovirax should be taken with water after meals. Adequate water balance should be maintained during treatment.

The treatment period for adults is 5 days; in cases of severe primary infection, the treatment period should be prolonged. Adults should take 200 mg tablets every four hours (5 times daily). In severely immunosuppressed patients, the dose should be doubled.

In prophylaxis of recurrent herpes infections, a dose of 200 mg every six hours or 400 mg every 12 hours. In some patients, treatment becomes effective when the dose is increased to 800 mg daily. An interval between treatment cycles of six months to one year should be respected.

Prophylaxis of HPV infections: For immunocompromised patients, 200 mg four times daily, with a 6-hour interval between doses. In severely immunosuppressed patients, the dose should be increased to 400 mg.

Treatment of varicella zoster and herpes zoster: take 800 mg tablets five times daily (4-hour interval). Treatment should be continued for one week.
Zovirax is also indicated in children for the treatment and prevention of infections caused by the herpes simplex virus. Zovirax in children: 2 to 6 years 400 mg Zovirax four times a day; over 6 years 800 mg four times a day. Duration of treatment is 5 days. For a more precise dosage of the drug, a calculation can be made according to the child’s body weight – 20 mg/kg, but not more than 800 mg per day.
