Description
Versa 100 Tab likely contains valacyclovir (100 mg), an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, including genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles. Valacyclovir converts to acyclovir in the body, inhibiting viral DNA replication to reduce symptom severity and outbreak duration. It’s typically taken orally, often 2–3 times daily for 5–10 days, depending on the condition, as prescribed. It helps manage outbreaks and may reduce transmission risk when taken regularly for suppression. Side effects include headache, nausea, or dizziness, with rare risks of kidney issues in dehydrated patients. It’s not a cure for herpes but controls symptoms effectively. Patients with kidney disease or allergies to acyclovir should avoid it, and staying hydrated is crucial to prevent kidney complications. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor, as safety data is limited. Complete the full course to ensure effectiveness.
