What is Aciclovir?
Aciclovir, the active ingredient in Koortslipcrème, is an antiviral presented as a cream for topical use. It treats herpes simplex virus infections—including cold sores, genital herpes and shingles—by delivering the medication directly to the affected skin area in patients who need localized therapy.
GNH USA supplies Koortslipcrème as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies, clinics and other healthcare facilities worldwide, ensuring consistent quality and regulatory compliance across global markets through reliable logistics and dedicated customer support and timely delivery.
What is Aciclovir used for?
Aciclovir is an antiviral agent used to manage infections caused by the herpes simplex virus family.
Herpes labialis (cold sores): Reduces lesion duration and promotes faster healing when applied at the first sign of symptoms. Genital herpes: Helps to alleviate outbreak severity and shorten healing time with regular topical application. Herpes zoster (shingles): Provides localized antiviral activity to lessen skin lesion development and discomfort when used as directed.
