What is Aciclovir used for?
Zovir (Aciclovir) is used to treat outbreaks of cold sores and genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus. It works by slowing the growth and spread of the virus on the skin.

Some may notice mild skin irritation or dryness at the application site. Effects vary by individual and the stage of the outbreak.
What precautions apply to Aciclovir?
Avoid applying Zovir (Aciclovir) to open wounds or broken skin unless directed by a healthcare professional. Do not use on mucous membranes like inside the mouth or eyes. Wash hands before and after applying to prevent spreading the virus. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Keep the product away from children and pets.
