Contains the active ingredient : Valacyclovir 500 mg which is an antiviral medication used primarily to treat infections caused by herpes viruses. While it effectively manages symptoms and slows viral growth, it is not a cure for these infections, as the virus remains in the body even after treatment.
It is a prodrug, meaning once ingested, the body converts it into its active form, acyclovir. It works by interfering with the virus's DNA polymerase enzyme, which prevents the virus from replicating and spreading to new cells
What is it used for?

Shingles (Herpes Zoster): For treating painful skin rashes in adults.
Chickenpox (Varicella): For children aged 2 to 18.
Reduction of Transmission: It can lower the risk of spreading genital herpes to sexual partners when used daily alongside safer sex practices.
