HERNOVIR is an antiviral drug effective against Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and 2 viruses.

HERNOVIR contains acyclovir as the active ingredient and is offered in blisters of 25 tablets.

Instructions for proper use and dosage/frequency of administration

Follow your doctor’s recommendations on how to use HERNOVIR.

Herpes treatment; It should be taken 200 mg 5 times a day, at approximately 4-hour intervals, skipping the night dose. Treatment should be continued for 5 days, but in cases of severe infections, the period may need to be extended. In cases of severe immune deficiency (e.g. after bone marrow transplantation) or patients with intestinal malabsorption, the dose may be doubled to 400 mg.

Suppression of herpes; To suppress herpes infection in patients with normal immune systems, 200 mg HERNOVIR should be taken 4 times a day with approximately 6-hour intervals. Doses of 400 mg taken twice daily, approximately every 12 hours, have been sufficient for most patients. By reducing the dose, taking 200 mg HERNOVIR 3 times a day with 8-hour intervals or even twice a day with 12-hour intervals may be sufficient.

Protection from herpes; 200 mg HERNOVIR should be administered 4 times a day approximately every 6 hours. In cases with severe immune deficiency (e.g. after bone marrow transplantation) or patients with intestinal malabsorption, the dose can be doubled to 400 mg (one scoop).
