Overview

Zovirax 200mg/5ml Suspension is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as an oral suspension, with Aciclovir (Acyclovir) 200mg/5ml as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Shake the bottle well before each use and measure the dose accurately with the oral syringe or measuring cup provided; it may be given with or without food.

Dosage

The dose and frequency depend on the condition being treated (for example, cold sores, genital herpes, chickenpox, or shingles) and the patient’s age and kidney function; the treating doctor individualises the exact dose and duration of treatment.
