Zovirax 200mg/5ml Suspension 125ml

Zovirax 200mg/5ml Suspension is an oral antiviral medication, with acyclovir as its active ingredient, formulated as a liquid for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets, including many children. If you're using this for the first time, you're probably wondering what to expect from the liquid form — it's taken by mouth, with dosing times spaced evenly throughout the day and night, and it can be taken with or without food, ideally with a full glass of water. Some people experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, or headache, particularly when taking higher doses. It's meant to be taken exactly as prescribed and for the complete duration recommended, even once symptoms start improving, since stopping early can allow the underlying infection to resurface. Because dosing for children is generally weight-based and treatment duration varies depending on the specific viral infection being treated, it's worth having your child's dose confirmed carefully by a doctor or pharmacist, along with staying well hydrated throughout treatment to support kidney function.

For children aged 2 years and older with chickenpox, the typical dose is 20mg/kg (up to a maximum of 800mg per dose) taken 4 times daily for 5 days, with children over 40kg receiving the standard adult dose. For adults, dosing varies by condition — for example, 800mg 4 times daily for 5 days for chickenpox, or 200mg 5 times daily for 5 to 10 days for genital herpes — so your doctor will confirm the exact regimen suited to your specific diagnosis.

Zovirax 200mg/5ml Suspension generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer packaging before use, and note that opened bottles are generally only usable for a limited period after first use.

• Acyclovir – a synthetic nucleoside analogue antiviral that inhibits viral DNA synthesis and replication

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to acyclovir, valacyclovir, or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Caution advised in patients with kidney impairment, as dose adjustment is generally needed
• Caution advised in elderly patients, given increased sensitivity to side effects such as kidney problems, dizziness, and confusion
• Caution advised in patients with underlying nervous system disorders
• Use during pregnancy should only occur when clearly needed, weighed against the risks and benefits with your doctor
• Caution advised while breastfeeding, though this medication is generally considered unlikely to harm a nursing infant

Acyclovir may interact with certain medications, particularly those that also affect kidney function, so it's important to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications and supplements you or your child are taking. If any vaccinations, particularly the varicella vaccine, are due, let your doctor know you're taking this medication beforehand, as timing may need to be adjusted.
