Dosage and duration depend on the type and severity of the infection, patient age, and renal function, and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Common adverse effects may include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and occasional renal toxicity, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney impairment. Adequate hydration during treatment is recommended to minimize renal adverse effects. Herpikind 400 Tablet DT is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Acyclovir or any component of the formulation.
