Composition:
ACYCLOVIR-5%W/W
Uses:
Recurrent herpes labialis (cold sores)
Medicinal Benefits:
Aciherpin Cream treats viral infections caused by the herpes simplex and varicella-zoster viruses. It consists of Acyclovir, an antiviral drug. It works by killing and stopping the growth of the virus. Aciherpin Cream effectively treats herpes simplex encephalitis (brain inflammation by herpes simplex virus) and neonatal herpes simplex virus infection. Aciherpin Cream is also useful in preventing the reactivation of the cytomegalovirus infection in seropositive (showing a positive result of a blood test for a particular antibody) patients following bone marrow transplantation.
Aciherpin Cream contains acyclovir, it exerts antiviral activity against herpes simplex viruses (HSV) by interfering with DNA synthesis and limiting viral replication. Thus it treats recurrent herpes labialis (cold sores).
Aciherpin Cream is contraindicated in patients allergic to acyclovir, valacyclovir or any component of the formulation.
In rare cases, angioedema (the swelling of the deeper layers of the skin, caused by a build-up of fluid) has been identified in Postmarketing Experience.
Systemic medication interactions are unlikely due to Aciherpin Cream's low systemic absorption. Clinical experience has revealed no interactions caused by the concurrent topical or systemic administration of other medicines with Aciherpin Cream.
