Key Ingredients:
- Acyclovir – Antiviral agent that inhibits replication of herpes simplex viruses, helping reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks. (Exact concentration per 5 ml: 400 mg as indicated by 400/5 in the product name.)
- Excipients (suspension base, stabilizers, sweeteners, flavoring agents) – Ensure smooth texture, stability, and palatability of the liquid. (Full excipient list and exact concentrations: information unavailable on the pack name and should be checked on the official leaflet.)
- Preservatives – Help maintain product stability and safety during the shelf life. (Specific preservatives and their concentrations: information unavailable and must be confirmed from the package insert.)
Texture & Finish:
- Oral suspension with a smooth, uniform liquid texture that is easy to measure and swallow, especially suitable for children and adults who dislike or cannot take tablets.
- Designed to be taken by mouth; it does not leave any residue on the skin but works from within to help reduce visible skin and lip outbreaks.
- Typically lightly flavored to improve acceptance; exact flavor profile is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).
How to Use:
- Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the suspension is evenly mixed.
- Measure the prescribed dose using an oral syringe or measuring spoon provided or recommended by your pharmacist; do not use household teaspoons.
- Swallow the measured dose directly. It may be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
- Use at the exact frequency and duration prescribed (for example, several times daily for a set number of days); do not skip doses or stop early even if symptoms improve, unless advised by your doctor.
- Follow your physician’s instructions and the package leaflet carefully. Maintain good lip and skin care (such as gentle cleansing and appropriate moisturizers) to support comfort and appearance during treatment.

Results:
- Initial improvement in discomfort and progression of lesions may be noticed within several days of regular use, depending on the severity and timing of treatment initiation.
