Overview

Acivir Cream contains Acyclovir 5% w/w, an antiviral agent used topically to treat viral skin infections caused by Herpes Simplex Virus, including cold sores (herpes labialis) and genital herpes. It helps relieve symptoms such as pain, burning, itching, and tingling, and speeds up healing when applied at the earliest signs of an outbreak.

How to Use
  • Clean and dry the affected area before application
  • Apply a thin layer of cream 5 times a day (approximately every 4 hours, except overnight)
  • Start use at the earliest signs (tingling, redness, or bump)
  • Continue use for 5 days, or as directed by a physician
  • Wash hands before and after use to avoid virus spread
