About Acylin 5 % Cream 5 Gm

Acylin 5 % Cream 5 Gm is a topical antiviral medicine used to manage cold sores on the lips and face caused by the herpes simplex virus. Early application helps shorten healing time, reduce viral activity, and ease discomfort such as burning, tingling, or pain.

It contains acyclovir as an active antiviral agent. Apply a thin layer to the affected skin area as prescribed by your doctor. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application to prevent spreading the infection. Continue using it for the full recommended duration even if your symptoms improve quickly.

Proper skin care and hygiene support recovery during an active cold sore outbreak. Avoid touching, picking, or squeezing the cold sore, and refrain from sharing personal items like towels, lip balms, or utensils to prevent transmitting the virus to others.

Before using this cream, inform your doctor if you have severe immune system problems or other underlying skin conditions. It is intended for external use on the lips and facial skin only; avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose. If severe irritation occurs or your condition does not improve, consult your healthcare provider.
