Q. Will I get cured after taking Riv 500mg Injection for shingles?
Riv 500mg Injection is an antiviral medicine effective against herpes simplex and varicella zoster viruses. It does not cure infections caused by these viruses but helps to minimize the symptoms and shorten the duration of infection. It does not remove the viruses from the body but prevents the viruses from dividing and spreading.
Q. How is Riv 500mg Injection administered?
Riv 500mg Injection should be administered under the supervision of a trained healthcare professional or a doctor only and should not be self-administered. It is given by slow intravenous (I.V) infusion over a one hour period to avoid damage to kidneys. The dose will depend on the condition you are being treated for and will be decided by your doctor.

Q. Does Riv 500mg Injection prevent transmission of infection to others?

Q. Do elderly patients need to be more careful while taking Riv 500mg Injection?
