Question 1

How many brands of Aciclovir are registered in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

We list 14 Aciclovir products from the NAFDAC Greenbook — Nigeria's official register of approved products — of which 12 have a currently active registration. They are produced by manufacturers including Akso Pharmaceutical Nigeria, Annie Pharma, AnnyGod Pharmaceutical, Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries, First J. Pocco Pharmacy, among others. Combination products, and registrations the Greenbook currently lists as inactive, are clearly marked — Greenbook listings can lag renewals, so always confirm the number printed on the pack. Because it is drawn from the live register, this is far more complete than a typical brand list.

Question 3

Are all these Aciclovir brands genuine?

Each brand here holds a NAFDAC registration in the Greenbook.
