Detailed Information

Introduction

Axovir 250mg Injection is an antiviral medication containing acyclovir, a potent antiviral agent used to treat serious viral infections caused by herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus. This injection works by stopping the virus from replicating, helping your body fight the infection effectively. Axovir 250mg is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional and is used to treat herpes infections, chickenpox, and shingles, as well as to prevent recurrent infections in immunocompromised patients.

Before starting treatment with Axovir 250mg Injection, inform your doctor about any allergies to acyclovir or valaciclovir, kidney problems, dehydration, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or over 65 years old. Staying well-hydrated during treatment is essential to protect your kidneys. Always take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, and do not self-administer this injection.

  • Prevention of infections in immunocompromised patients

How it Works

Axovir 250mg Injection works by targeting the herpes virus enzyme called DNA polymerase. This enzyme is essential for the virus to replicate and spread. By inhibiting DNA polymerase and blocking DNA synthesis, acyclovir stops the virus from multiplying, allowing your immune system to control the infection more effectively.

Safety Advice

Pregnancy

Consult Doctor

Limited clinical studies are available on the use of Axovir 250mg during pregnancy. While acyclovir is sometimes used to treat herpes infections in pregnant women, the decision should be made only after consulting your obstetrician.

Tip: Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before starting treatment if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy

Tip: Consult your doctor before using this injection while breastfeeding to weigh potential benefits against risks

Kidney Function

Consult Doctor

The safety of Axovir 250mg in patients with liver disease has not been thoroughly studied. While the liver is not the primary organ processing acyclovir, patients with severe liver disease may be at risk.
