This oral formulation is widely prescribed for common viral conditions. Suitable for adults and children with medical guidance.

What is Aciclovir used for?

Ацикловир Ал is primarily used to manage infections caused by herpes simplex viruses, including cold sores and genital herpes.

What does Aciclovir interact with?

Certain medications, such as probenecid or cimetidine, may affect how your body processes aciclovir. Combining it with other antiviral drugs could increase side effects.
