Buy Aciclovir UK | What is Aciclovir?

Buy Aciclovir UK, Aciclovir is an antiviral treatment for genital herpes - a condition caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2). It is important to understand that Aciclovir is not a cure for herpes, but it can treat the symptoms of herpes faster and prevent the virus from spreading.

How does Aciclovir work?

Contrary to popular belief, viruses are not living micro-organisms. They are made up of genetic material (such as DNA or RNA) packaged within a shell of protein. Unlike bacteria, viruses are incapable of living and replicating outside of a host, such as the human body.

In order to survive in the body, the virus hijacks a cell and uses it to replicate. Once the replication is complete, the virus leaves the cell to hijack another, resulting in the cell's death. Aciclovir works by inhibiting a protein in the body which the virus uses to replicate itself and cause further infection. By limiting the virus's ability to multiply, the immune system can fight the infection more effectively, treating the symptoms faster.

It's important to understand that Aciclovir is not a cure for herpes and does not kill or destroy the virus. Once the number of viruses are diminished, the immune system takes over to beat the virus into remission. Even if you treat genital herpes with Aciclovir, you may still experience future outbreaks which will require further treatment.
