Table of Contents
Aciclovir (known as ‘the medicine of the brand’) is a synthetic nucleoside analogue that is used to treat herpes labialis, genital herpes and other viral infections. It is used in combination with an antiviral (such as famciclovir, acyclovir, and valacyclovir) to treat patients who have herpes, cold sores and genital herpes.
Aciclovir is available in oral tablets and topical creams.
Aciclovir is not as effective as the oral antiviral drugs in treating herpes or viral infections. In fact, it can be even less effective in patients who don’t respond well to oral medications.
Aciclovir works by inhibiting the replication of the virus, which is essential for the development of the body’s immune system. This stops the virus from growing.
Take 1 tablet with a glass of water before, during, and after a meal. Do not lie down for 30 seconds after taking aciclovir.
Take 2 tablets at the same time each day and take 1 to 2 tablets daily. Do not take more than one tablet a day.
You should swallow one tablet whole with a glass of water.
Take aciclovir at the same time each day.
If you have cold sores (aciclovir 5% cream for herpes, herpes simplex, or genital herpes), you can buy aciclovir cream (also known as acyclovir) over the counter (with a prescription from a doctor) to help manage them. You can use a cream that is also known as a cold sore cream or a cold sore cream made with the same active ingredient as the sore to prevent spreading the virus to others. There are two main types of cold sores, and most are caused by viruses.
Cold sores
Cold sores affect the eyes, nose, and mouth. These sores may be painful, and they may not be contagious when the sores are not present. Cold sores are usually cold sores that occur when the cold sore virus is active. Cold sores are more contagious when a cold sore virus is active than when the cold sore virus is not present.

Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the main type of cold sore virus. People with this virus have two types of HSV. HSV-1 and HSV-2, the main type of HSV, cause the cold sores to appear.
HSV-2 is responsible for the following symptoms in people who have cold sores:
Cold sores are contagious even when they are not active. You may have cold sores if you have a cold sore. You can apply a cold sore cream to your cold sore sore or any other type of sore that has cold sores.
Genital herpes is caused by a virus called herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). It causes painful sores, which are the first signs of an outbreak of genital herpes in adults.
Genital herpes is transmitted from mother to baby through vaginal, anal or oral sex. Herpes is highly contagious and can be passed from mother to baby in an infected environment.
Genital herpes virus causes genital herpes in babies and children. You can apply a cold sore cream to your cold sore sore or any other type of sore. Do not apply a cold sore cream to your baby if you have genital herpes symptoms and do not have symptoms of genital herpes.
The main symptoms of genital herpes are:
You should apply a cream (also known as a cold sore cream) to your skin, the area around your cold sore, or if you have cold sores on the lips. Wash your hands after applying the cream. Do not use a cold sore cream on cold cold sore patients unless they have told you to.
