Vir 250mg Injection

Vir 250mg Injection – Acyclovir Injection by Troikaa

Vir 250mg from Troikaa Pharmaceuticals is an Acyclovir 250 mg injection, used in hospital settings for severe herpes simplex, genital herpes, chickenpox and shingles infections, and for cases where oral treatment isn’t practical or the infection needs faster, more reliable drug levels. It works by blocking the herpes virus from multiplying inside human cells, which stops the infection spreading and lets the body clear it. This is a healthcare-professional-administered injectable, given by slow intravenous infusion rather than something used at home.
