Zovirax (Aciclovir) is primarily used to treat infections caused by herpes simplex and varicella-zoster viruses. It is often prescribed for cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles. The medication works by slowing the growth and spread of the virus, helping the body fight the infection. It does not cure herpes but can reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks when taken as directed.

Aciclovir may cause mild side effects such as nausea, headache, or dizziness. Some users report fatigue or stomach discomfort. These effects are usually temporary and resolve as the body adjusts. Drinking plenty of water can help minimize any digestive discomfort while taking this medication.

Keep Zovirax in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Store it at room temperature and ensure it is out of reach of children. If you experience severe side effects or allergic reactions, seek medical attention promptly. Always follow the storage instructions provided with your prescription.

Aciclovir may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics and drugs that affect kidney function. Combining it with alcohol or probenecid can increase side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
