ACYCLOVIR (Zovirax(reg)) treats certain types of viral infections, specifically herpes infections. Acyclovir will not cure herpes infections; it will help the sores heal faster and help to relieve the pain or discomfort. Generic acyclovir cream and ointment are not yet available.
What should my health care professional know before I use acyclovir?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions: other sexually transmitted diseases; an unusual or allergic reaction to acyclovir, ganciclovir, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives; pregnant or trying to get pregnant; breast-feeding.
How should I use this medicine?
Acyclovir skin cream or ointment is only for external use on the skin; do not use in the eye. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Wash hands before and after use. Use a finger cot or rubber glove so that you do not spread the infection to the other site. Apply a thin layer of ointment to cover all lesions adequately. Use your doses at regular intervals. Do not use your medicine more often than directed. Finish the full course prescribed by your prescriber or health care professional even if you think your condition is better. Do not stop using except on your prescriber's advice.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, use only that dose. Do not use double or extra doses.
What drug(s) may interact with acyclovir?
No interactions have been shown between other medicines and acyclovir cream or ointment.
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about other skin products that you are using, including non-prescription skin products. Check with your prescriber or health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What side effects may I notice from using acyclovir?
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome): skin irritation, burning, or itching; pain; skin rash.
What should I watch for while taking acyclovir?
Tell your prescriber or health care professional if your symptoms do not improve after 1 week.
Even though you are using acyclovir, you can still pass herpes toa-o ther person.
Acyclovir works best when applied very early in the course of an infection. Begin treatment at the first signs of infection (such as tingling, itching, or pain in the affected area). Wear loose fitting clothing.
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease. Using acyclovir will not stop your sexual partner from getting the infection. Do not have sex if you have an active herpes infection; you can use a condom during sex, but this is not foolproof.
Do not get the ointment in your eyes; if you do, rinse out with plenty of cool tap water.
Where can I keep my medicine?
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store at room temperature between 15 and 25 degrees C (59 and 77 degrees F). Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date. |
