What is Acylex Syrup 200mg/5ml 60ml Used For?

This medicine manages infections caused by herpes viruses. Acyclovir slows viral multiplication, which may reduce symptom severity and shorten an outbreak when treatment starts.

A doctor may prescribe it for:

• Oral or genital herpes simplex infections
• Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus
• Shingles caused by herpes zoster
• Suppression of recurring herpes in some patients

It does not remove herpes viruses from the body and may not prevent transmission.

What Are Its Main Benefits?

Its benefit is targeted antiviral action against herpes-family viruses. When prescribed, it may help control viral activity, support lesion healing, and reduce the duration or intensity of symptoms.

It should not be used for bacterial infections, flu, or undiagnosed skin rashes.

How Should the Suspension Be Taken?

Take it as prescribed. Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with an oral syringe or marked medicine spoon, not a household teaspoon.

It may be taken with or without food. Maintain fluid intake unless a doctor has restricted fluids, and complete the prescribed course.

If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless the next dose is near. Never double the dose.

Is It Safe for Children?

It may be prescribed to children for viral infections, but dosing is individualized. Paediatric doses may depend on age, weight, diagnosis, timing, and kidney function.

Parents should not calculate or repeat an old dose without advice. Use the measuring device.

What Are the Possible Side Effects?

Common effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, headache, dizziness, or tiredness.

Seek urgent help for breathing difficulty, facial swelling, a severe or blistering rash, confusion, hallucinations, seizures, very low urine output, or signs of a serious allergic, neurological, or kidney reaction.

What Precautions Should Be Followed?

Tell the prescriber about kidney disease, dehydration, pregnancy, breastfeeding, older age, immune-system problems, allergies to acyclovir or valacyclovir, and other medicines. Kidney impairment may require dose adjustment or monitoring.

Do not share this medicine. Follow transmission-prevention advice because antiviral treatment does not guarantee that herpes cannot spread.

How Should It Be Stored?

Store according to the pack instructions, protected from heat and light. Keep it tightly closed and away from children. Do not use after expiry or if the suspension appears abnormal.
