Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about your treatment.

Aciclovir targets the enzyme necessary for the herpes simplex virus (HSV) to replicate and grow. By inhibiting the production of this enzyme, the virus cannot reproduce, allowing the immune system to fight the infection and reduce symptoms.
Common side effects of Aciclovir may include dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, allergic reactions, rash, stomach pain, fatigue, fever, and heightened sensitivity to light. If you experience any concerning side effects, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Aciclovir cannot completely cure genital herpes, but it can suppress symptoms and prevent outbreaks by inhibiting the growth of the virus. It is important to continue treatment as prescribed to manage the condition effectively.
Aciclovir can start reducing symptoms of genital herpes within 2-5 days of starting treatment. It is crucial to begin treatment as soon as symptoms appear for optimal effectiveness.

It is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions with Aciclovir.

It is generally recommended to avoid alcohol while taking Aciclovir, as it may increase the risk of certain side effects such as dizziness and nausea. Be sure to consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
