Acyclovir Cream

Acyclovir Cream is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by certain viruses, such as cold sores (herpes simplex) and genital herpes. It works by slowing down the growth of the virus, helping to reduce symptoms and speed up healing. The cream is applied directly to the affected area of the skin, typically five times a day for about 5 to 10 days, depending on the severity of the infection. It’s important to start treatment as soon as symptoms appear for best results. Common side effects include mild skin irritation or dryness. Always use as directed by a healthcare provider to avoid complications.
