Acicloder 400 MG Tablet 10 contains aciclovir (400 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Viral DNA synthesis inhibition: Aciclovir acts as a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue which inhibits viral DNA synthesis. This means it stops the virus from creating new copies of itself.

• Ceasing viral replication: Once converted into its active form within virus-infected cells, aciclovir triphosphate competitively inhibits and inactivates the viral DNA polymerase enzyme. This action halts further viral DNA synthesis without affecting normal cellular processes.

• Shield it from dampness; don't store it in places like the bathroom.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Confirm the expiration date on the pack and use it before this date.

• Limit sun exposure. Aciclovir, the active ingredient in Acicloder 400 MG Tablet 10, can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. It's a good idea to wear protective clothing and use sunscreen if you're going outside.

• Stay well hydrated. Since Acicloder 400 MG Tablet 10 is taken for herpes virus infections, drinking plenty of fluids helps manage these conditions and also prevents dehydration, a potential side effect of the medicine.
