Acivir Cream is an antiviral medication used to treat skin infections caused by the Herpes simplex virus, such as herpes labialis. It works by preventing the virus from multiplying in skin cells, helping to clear the infection effectively.

Apply Acivir Cream as directed by your doctor. Use it for the prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve earlier. Avoid skipping doses and do not apply more than recommended. Wash your hands before and after application, and ensure the affected area is clean and dry.

Common side effects may include mild irritation, redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site. If these persist or worsen, consult your doctor. If you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before using this medication.
