Product Description

Acivir Cream - 10gm is an antiviral medication for infections caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV).
Key Features:

  • Suppresses viral replication at the application site to prevent symptom worsening.
  • Effective for primary and recurrent infections (genital/oral herpes, shingles).
  • Fast-absorbing cream acts directly on lesions.
  • May be used prophylactically in immunocompromised patients under medical guidance.
  • Early, proactive treatment helps relieve symptoms and speed recovery.

Additional Information:

  • Formulation: Lightweight, quick-absorbing cream.
  • Primary Use: Treatment of skin herpes such as cold sores.
  • Application Areas: Non-mucosal skin (lips, face).
  • Main Indications: Cold sores and non-mucosal herpes lesions.
  • Absorption Rate: Rapid.
  • Unique Benefits: Rapid symptom relief and coverage of wider skin areas.

Indications & Uses

Acivir Cream (Acyclovir 5% w/w)

  • Herpes: Treats herpes simplex lesions (cold sores; non-mucosal outbreaks).
  • Cold Sores: Quick relief of itching, burning, and pain.
  • Non-Mucosal Areas: Suitable for lips and facial skin; avoid mucous membranes.

Benefits & Effectiveness

  • Mechanism: Acyclovir inhibits HSV replication by incorporation into viral DNA, terminating chain extension.
  • Reduces duration and intensity of symptoms; helps limit spread to adjacent skin.

Frequently Asked Question (Acyclovir Products)

Q. When should I use tablets vs. cream/ointment?

(1) Tablets (systemic/severe):

  • Shingles (Herpes Zoster): Needed for nerve pain/systemic control.
  • Genital Herpes with systemic symptoms (fever, malaise): Prefer tablets.

(2) Cream/Ointment (localized/mild):

  • Cold Sores: Quickly soothes blisters on non-mucosal skin.
  • Herpetic Keratitis: Use ophthalmic-specific ointments only (not standard skin cream).
  • Oral Mucosal Infections: Mild cases may use appropriate formulations per medical advice.

(3) Combination (tablet + topical) for severe localized with systemic features:

  • Shingles: Tablets for pain/viral load + cream for skin lesions.
  • Severe Genital Herpes: Ointment for local relief + tablets to suppress replication.
  • Severe/Recurrent (immunocompromised): Combination to improve control and reduce recurrence.

Directions for Use

For Antibiotics & Infections > Herpes

Website Layout Makes It Simple to Reorder Regularly

The interface is intuitive, which is not always the case with pharmaceutical websites. I could quickly reorder what I needed without searching for too long. That's a time-saver in my book.
