What is Aciclovir?

Зовиракс (Aciclovir) is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses. It works by slowing the growth and spread of the virus in the body. Available for intravenous use, it is commonly prescribed for severe outbreaks. Suitable for adults and children with medical supervision.

The intravenous form is often used in hospital settings for severe or systemic infections. Always used under medical guidance.
