Description
Univir 800mg Tablets (10’s) are a high-strength, prescription-only antiviral medication available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya. Each tablet contains Acyclovir 800mg, a potent antiviral agent highly effective against various herpes group viruses. This elevated dosage is primarily prescribed for the effective treatment of shingles (herpes zoster) and severe cases of chickenpox (varicella), especially in adults. Univir 800mg works by inhibiting viral DNA replication, thereby reducing the severity and duration of the painful rash and preventing post-herpetic neuralgia (persistent nerve pain after shingles). Early initiation of treatment is crucial for optimal therapeutic outcomes and effective management of these viral infections.
