What is Acyclovir Cream?

Zovirax Cream and the generic alternative Acyclovir Cream is an antibacterial cream used to treat cold sores. Acyclovir can speed up the healing of sores and decreases symptoms such as tingling, pain, burning or itching. This cream woks by stopping the growth of the virus but does not cure herpes or prevent you from passing the infection to others.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication.

• Use this medication at the first sign of infection. This medication is typically taken 5 times a day for 4 days. Your acyclovir dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not change or increase your dosage unless advised by a doctor.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before and after applying acyclovir cream.
• Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream. Gently rub the cream into the affected area. Apply enough cream to cover all of the affected areas.
• Apply Zovirax to the skin only. Do not apply to the eyes or inside the nose, mouth or vagina. If you do get cream in these areas, flush with plenty of water.
• This medication should be used regularly in order to be most effective. It works best when the amount absorbed by the skin is kept at a constant level. Try to take this medication at the same times each day.
• Do not wash the affected area or swim right after applying this cream.
• If applying this medication for genital herpes, use a rubber glove or finger cot to avoid spreading the infection. Follow safe sex practices and use a condom when there are no symptoms. Do not have sexual contact when experiencing an outbreak.
• Cold sores spread easily. Avoid physical contact such as kissing with others. Avoid touching cold sores and wash your hands if you do touch the cold sore.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.
• Your medical history.
• If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breast feeding.

Also be aware that:

• You should avoid breast feeding if you have sores on or near your breast.
