Overview
Biolab Zevin 200mg Tablet contains aciclovir 200mg, an antiviral medicine used to treat infections caused by herpes simplex virus (such as cold sores and genital herpes) and varicella zoster virus (chickenpox and shingles). It works best when started as early as possible after symptoms appear.
Aciclovir works by being converted inside virus-infected cells into a form that blocks the viral enzyme needed to copy the virus’s genetic material. This stops the virus from multiplying, allowing the body’s immune system to control the infection and helping symptoms resolve faster.
How it Works
Aciclovir is a prodrug that is selectively activated by a viral enzyme (thymidine kinase) present in herpes-infected cells, then further converted into a compound that inhibits viral DNA polymerase and gets incorporated into viral DNA, halting viral replication while largely sparing uninfected cells.
Directions for Use
Take Biolab Zevin 200mg Tablet with a full glass of water, with or without food, spacing your doses as evenly as possible throughout the day as directed. Start treatment as soon as possible after symptoms begin (such as tingling before a cold sore appears) for the best effect, and complete the full course even if you feel better before finishing it.
Dosage
The dose and frequency of Biolab Zevin 200mg Tablet depend on the condition being treated; herpes simplex infections are commonly treated with multiple daily doses for 5 days, while shingles (herpes zoster) typically requires a longer course at a higher frequency. Your doctor will confirm the correct dose, frequency, and duration for your infection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Biolab Zevin 200mg Tablet used for?
Biolab Zevin 200mg Tablet is used to treat infections caused by herpes simplex virus (cold sores, genital herpes) and varicella zoster virus (chickenpox, shingles).
How soon should I start taking this medicine after symptoms appear?
Aciclovir works best when started as early as possible – ideally at the first tingling, itching, or pain that signals an outbreak is starting.
Can this medicine cure herpes completely?
No. Aciclovir controls the current outbreak and reduces symptom duration and severity, but it does not eliminate the virus from the body, so future outbreaks can still occur.
