Aciclovir Cream is an antiviral medication used to treat cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. The active ingredient, aciclovir, works by stopping the virus from multiplying in your body, helping to reduce the severity and duration of cold sore outbreaks. This cream is suitable for anyone experiencing cold sores and looking to speed up the healing process.
About Aciclovir cream
Dosage and usage
For best results, apply a small amount of Aciclovir Cream to the affected area five times a day, every four hours, for five days. Make sure to wash your hands before and after application to prevent spreading the infection. If your symptoms persist after this period, consult your healthcare provider. Remember, this cream is for external use only and should not be ingested.
What Aciclovir Cream contains
Each gram of Aciclovir Cream contains 50mg of aciclovir as the active ingredient. The cream also includes excipients such as propylene glycol, cetostearyl alcohol, liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin, and purified water.
Side effects
Common side effects of Aciclovir Cream may include mild stinging or burning at the application site. However, if you experience severe allergic reactions like rash, itching, dizziness, or trouble breathing, seek immediate medical help. In rare cases, prolonged or severe burning, redness, itching, or irritation may occur.
Precautions
Avoid using Aciclovir Cream if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. If you have a history of kidney problems or are pregnant, consult your doctor before using this cream. It's important to note that this cream is not intended for internal use and should be kept out of reach of children.
