What is Zovirax?

Zovirax (acyclovir) is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus in the body. Laciclovir does not cure herpes, but it can reduce the symptoms of the infection.

Zovirax is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, such as genital herpes, cold sores, herpes zoster, and chicken pox.

Zovirax can also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Important information

Take Zovirax 200 mg tablets for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured.

Treatment with Zovirax should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms (such as tingling, burning, blistering).

Herpes infections are contagious, and you can infect other people, even while you are treating Zovirax. Prevent infected areas from coming into contact with other people. Avoid touching an infected area and then touching the eyes. Wash your hands often to avoid passing the infection to others.
