Acyclovir
Acyclovir is used to treat the symptoms of chickenpox, shingles,
herpes virus infections of the genitals (sex organs), the skin,
the brain, and mucous membranes (lips and mouth), and widespread
herpes virus infections in newborns. Acyclovir is also used
to prevent recurrent genital herpes infections. Although acyclovir
will not cure herpes, it does help relieve the pain and discomfort
and helps the sores (if any) heal faster. |
