Give your body a fighting chance to treat your fever, muscle aches, blisters, and other symptoms caused by the herpes simplex virus. Acyclovir is the first antiviral drug developed to relieve pain and discomfort caused by the herpes simplex virus 1 and 2. By slowing the growth and spread of the herpes virus, Acyclovir lessens the symptoms and shortens the length of time you are sick.

Side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, headache, lightheadedness, or joint pain.

Suggested Use: Take Acyclovir exactly as directed by your doctor. Acyclovir should be taken with food to decrease stomach problems. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely gone, therefore take Acyclovir for the entire duration of treatment. If a severe allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult with your doctor.
