3. Manufacturing Acyclovir Tablets We divide our operations to ensure specialized focus.
The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. First, Healthy Life Pharma handles manufacturing. We operate a WHO-GMP certified plant in Mumbai. The 800mg Acyclovir tablet contains a large amount of active ingredient, making it physically large and difficult for patients to swallow. To solve this, we use specialized tooling to compress it into a slender Capsule-Shape (Caplet) rather than a round tablet. This significantly improves ease of swallowing and patient compliance. We also manufacture Dispersible Tablets (DT) for the 200mg/400mg strengths, which dissolve in water for rapid absorption.
The Exporter: Healthy Inc Second, Healthy Inc manages international trade. This division handles logistics for Acyclovir Tablets. We supply hospitals and pharmacies globally. We are experienced in high-volume orders for seasonal outbreaks of Chickenpox and Shingles.
4. Quality Assurance We test every batch rigorously.
Dissolution Profiling: Acyclovir has poor oral bioavailability. Therefore, our tablets are engineered to disintegrate rapidly to maximize absorption in the gut.
Hardness & Friability: We ensure the large 800mg tablets are hard enough to survive shipping without breaking, but soft enough to dissolve quickly in the stomach.
Assay: We confirm the potency across all three strengths (200/400/800mg).
5. Why Use Acyclovir Tablets? This drug stops the virus from replicating.
Mechanism: It is converted into Acyclovir-triphosphate inside the infected cell. This “false building block” jams the viral DNA polymerase, stopping the virus from copying its DNA.
Effect: It reduces the severity and duration of outbreaks (cold sores, genital herpes, shingles) and speeds up healing.
Key Indications:
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): Treatment of cold sores (Labialis) and Genital Herpes.
Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV): Treatment of Chickenpox (Varicella) and Shingles (Herpes Zoster).
Prophylaxis: Prevention of recurrent HSV infections in immunocompromised patients.
6. Export and Regulatory Support We provide complete documentation for registration.
Dossier: We offer CTD and ACTD formats.
Certificates: We supply the Free Sale Certificate (FSC) and COPP.
Logistics: We ship via FOB Mumbai or CIF.
