How Is Aciclovir Used?
For active outbreaks of genital herpes, the standard dosage is 400mg taken three times daily for five days. In cases of recurrent outbreaks or for suppression therapy, your healthcare provider may prescribe a longer or adjusted course. Always follow the instructions provided by your clinician to maximise effectiveness.
Is Aciclovir Right for You?
Aciclovir is generally a safe and effective treatment for most people; however, it may not be suitable for individuals with kidney disease or other significant medical conditions. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive, it’s essential to consult your clinician before starting Aciclovir. Additionally, inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, or over-the-counter products you’re taking to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

Frequently Asked Questions: AciclovirTablets
-
Aciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), including genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chickenpox. While it doesn’t cure herpes, it helps to manage outbreaks by slowing the growth and spread of the virus, reducing symptoms and aiding healing.
-
Aciclovir works by inhibiting the replication of the herpes virus, preventing it from spreading further in your body. This helps reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks while promoting healing.
-
For treating genital herpes, the usual dose is 400mg taken orally three times a day for five days. For recurrent outbreaks or suppression therapy, your doctor may recommend a different regimen tailored to your needs. Always take Aciclovir as directed by your healthcare provider and for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve.
-
Aciclovir typically starts working shortly after the first dose. You may notice symptom relief within a few days. Starting treatment as soon as symptoms appear, such as tingling or burning, can enhance its effectiveness.
-
Common side effects include:
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhoea
Abdominal pain
Mild skin rash or itching
Rare but serious side effects include confusion, hallucinations, changes in behaviour, or signs of kidney issues such as painful urination or swelling. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience severe or unusual symptoms.
-
Your clinician will review your current medications and supplements to ensure Aciclovir is safe for you. It is essential to inform them about all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements you are taking, as some may interact with Aciclovir.
-
Aciclovir may not be suitable for individuals with:
Kidney disease
A weakened immune system
Allergies to Aciclovir, valaciclovir, or milk proteins (for buccal tablets)
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their clinician before using Aciclovir, as the medication may not always be appropriate.
-
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to the time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double your dose to make up for a missed one.
-
Aciclovir reduces symptoms but does not prevent herpes transmission. Avoid direct contact with infected areas during outbreaks and practice safe sex to minimise the risk of spreading the virus. Wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading the infection to others.
-
Yes, Aciclovir can be used as suppression therapy for individuals with frequent outbreaks. Long-term use can help reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks. Your doctor will determine if this approach is suitable for you.

To support healing and reduce irritation:
Keep lesions clean and dry.
Wear loose clothing to prevent friction.
Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to protect your kidneys while on Aciclovir.

Store Aciclovir at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children.
