Acivir Cream is used to treat cold sores and genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus, helping speed up healing and reduce the spread of the outbreak.

Uses of Acivir Cream are:

The following directions of use for Acivir cream are based on the product label and are supported by authentic research papers:

• Both before and after using the cream, wash your hands properly.
• Clean and dry the affected area.
• Put a thin layer of the cream on the infected area, ensuring it covers the entire lesion.
• Gently rub the cream onto the skin until completely absorbed.
• Please wash your hands after applying it unless your hands are in the affected area.
• Use the cream as your doctor directs, usually five times daily for 5 to 10 days, depending on the treated condition.

The route of administration for Acivir cream is topical, which means it is applied directly to the skin. 

• Acivir Cream contains Acyclovir which belongs to a class of medications known as antivirals. Acyclovir is a medicine that fights viruses. It stops the viruses from copying their DNA, which is how they multiply. When the medicine gets inside infected cells, it becomes active and blocks the enzyme the viruses need to reproduce. It stops the viruses from multiplying and reduces symptoms like cold sores, genital herpes, chickenpox, and shingles. 

• Store Acivir cream at room temperature (15-25ºC).
• Please protect it from light and moisture.
• Keep Acivir cream away from children.
• Do not use Acivir cream after the expiry date has passed.

• Take care of your health by eating a balanced diet, exercising, and resting well.

• Consume a nutritious, balanced diet. To strengthen your immune system, consume foods high in vitamins and nutrients, such as dark green, yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables.
