Need fast relief from cold sores? Acivir cream, containing aciclovir, directly targets the herpes simplex virus (HSV), reducing the duration and severity of outbreaks. This antiviral medication works by hindering the virus’s replication, preventing further spread and promoting faster healing.
Apply a thin layer of Acivir cream to the affected area five times daily, ensuring complete coverage of the lesion. Maintain this routine for at least five days, even after symptoms subside, to prevent recurrence. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before and after each application to avoid spreading the virus.
While Acivir cream effectively manages outbreaks, it doesn’t cure HSV. Therefore, consistent application is vital for symptom control. For severe or persistent outbreaks, consult a healthcare professional; they can advise on appropriate treatment strategies, including stronger antiviral medications or alternative approaches.
Important Note: Acivir cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep the cream out of reach of children. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a doctor immediately. Always follow the instructions on the product packaging.
