Description

Acyclovir (Zovirax) Cream 200/400/800 mg is a topical medication used to treat herpes simplex virus infections, including cold sores (herpes labialis) and genital herpes (herpes genitalis). The cream contains acyclovir, an antiviral medication that works by inhibiting the growth and spread of the herpes virus.

Key Features:

  • Antiviral Action: Acyclovir Cream contains the active ingredient acyclovir, which helps to suppress the replication of the herpes simplex virus, reducing the severity and duration of outbreaks.
  • Topical Application: The cream is applied directly to the affected area, allowing for targeted treatment of herpes lesions on the skin or mucous membranes.
  • Relief from Symptoms: Acyclovir Cream helps to alleviate symptoms associated with herpes outbreaks, including pain, itching, and burning.
  • Prescription Strength: Acyclovir Cream is available by prescription only and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Usage Instructions:

  • Wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
  • Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of Acyclovir Cream.
  • Gently rub the cream into the skin until it is absorbed.
  • Apply the cream to the affected area(s) 5 times daily for 4 days, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
  • Use the cream at the earliest sign of a cold sore outbreak or genital herpes recurrence for best results.

Precautions:

  • Avoid getting Acyclovir Cream in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Do not apply the cream to broken or irritated skin.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using this medication.
  • Tell your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal supplements.

Side Effects:

  • Common side effects may include mild stinging or burning at the application site.
  • Serious side effects are rare but may include severe skin irritation or allergic reactions. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
