Varil 500 Tablet

Varil 500 Tablet is used to treat viral infections. It plays a vital role in treating cold sores (an inflamed blister in or near the mouth caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus), genital herpes (a common sexually transmitted infection marked by genital pain and sores), and herpes zoster (a viral infection that causes a painful rash).

Varil 500 Tablet contains valacyclovir, which works by preventing the multiplication of viruses in human cells, stopping the proliferation of viruses and producing new viruses.

Sometimes, you may experience side effects like headaches, dizziness, feeling sick (nausea or vomiting), diarrhoea, and skin that is sensitive to sunlight. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not give Varil 500 Tablet if you are allergic to Varil 500 Tablet, valacyclovir, or any of its ingredients. Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Use protection while having sexual intercourse to avoid the transfer of genital herpes (a sexually transmitted disease) to your partner.
