Overview Aciclovir Cream

Herpes simplex virus skin infections, like cold sores, respond to the antiviral action of Aciclovir Cream. This topical medication inhibits viral replication within skin cells, thereby promoting healing. Apply only to clean, dry skin as directed by your physician. Always wash your hands before and after application, and avoid unnecessary contact with the affected area to prevent spreading. Mild burning, itching, irritation, or redness at the application site are possible side effects; persistent symptoms warrant medical attention. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina; rinse thoroughly with water if accidental exposure occurs.
