ZIMIVIR500MG (Valacyclovir (500mg))

Zimivir 500 mg Tablet is an antiviral treatment specifically designed to combat infections caused by the herpes virus, including herpes labialis (cold sores), genital herpes, and herpes zoster (shingles). This medication operates by inhibiting the replication of the virus within human cells, aiding in the resolution of the infection. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration as instructed by your healthcare provider. Do not omit any doses, and ensure you complete the entire treatment regimen, even if your symptoms improve. Zimivir can be administered with or without food; however, taking it at the same time daily may enhance its effectiveness. In case you miss a dose, take it promptly when you remember, unless it is nearing the time for your next scheduled dose, in which case, skip the missed dose and return to your regular dosing plan—never take a double dose. Staying well-hydrated is important during treatment, as it helps prevent dehydration and potential kidney complications. While using this medication, you might experience some common side effects such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, itching, or diarrhea. Should these effects persist or become concerning, it is advisable to consult your physician. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, please seek guidance from your healthcare provider regarding the use of this medication.
