Aciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses. It helps reduce symptoms like blisters and sores. This oral medication is commonly prescribed for cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles. Suitable for adults and children as directed.

Aciclovir is primarily used to treat infections caused by herpes simplex and varicella-zoster viruses. It may help shorten outbreaks of cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles when taken as prescribed. Some doctors may also recommend it for chickenpox in certain cases. Always follow healthcare provider guidance for appropriate use.

Aciclovir works by slowing the growth of the virus, which can help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. Users may notice fewer new sores forming and existing ones healing faster. Some people experience mild effects like nausea or headache, but these are generally temporary. It does not cure herpes infections but can manage active outbreaks.

Store aciclovir at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. If you have kidney issues or are on dialysis, consult a healthcare provider before use. Do not share this medication with others, even if they have similar symptoms. Follow all handling instructions provided by your pharmacist.

Aciclovir may interact with other medications that affect the kidneys, such as certain pain relievers or diuretics. Combining it with probenecid can increase aciclovir levels in the blood. Alcohol use may worsen side effects like dizziness or drowsiness. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
