Herpikind 200 Tablet 10 contains aciclovir (200 mg), which has the following effects on the body:

• Inhibits viral replication: Aciclovir turns into its active form, aciclovir triphosphate, inside your body. This active form disrupts the replication of herpes viruses by competitively inhibiting a viral enzyme called DNA polymerase.

• Prevents viral DNA chain growth: Aciclovir triphosphate incorporates itself into the growing viral DNA chain. By doing so, it stops the chain from growing further, thereby blocking viral replication.

• Selective action: Aciclovir has a higher affinity for viral DNA polymerase than for human DNA polymerase. This selectivity makes it an effective antiviral agent with minimal toxicity to human cells.
