Acyclovir Overview

Acyclovir (Zovirax) is primarily used to treat outbreaks of the herpes simplex virus in the skin. This powerful medicine is also used to treat outbreaks of shingles and chickenpox. Acyclovir offers relief to many people suffering from genital herpes and provides a way to control their symptoms and duration of outbreaks, enabling them to live a healthy, normal lifestyle.

How Does Acyclovir Work

Acyclovir Side Effects

Signs of Genital Herpes:

Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) which is able to lie dormant for years even before an outbreak occurs. Generally, the first signs of an outbreak are small sores. They can be as small in number as one and grow in size and sensitivity as well as excreting blood and pus until treated. It is important to remember, that even during periods of remission, it is still possible to spread the herpes virus to others.

Symptoms of Shingles:

Classic early warning signs for shingles include:

• Headache
• Sensitivity to light
• Flu-like symptoms
• Once you start showing these signs, a rash may develop in the days that follow. The rash can be very sensitive, itchy and painful, and generally resemble a red shingle-like rash of clustered blisters that can fill with pus. Shingles general surface on the back and shoulders.

Acyclovir or Valtrex?

Valtrex is best for people who suffer from severe or frequent breakouts and is used for suppressive therapy while Acyclovir is best for people who have few and/or mild breakouts. It is important to remember that none of these medications can prevent the spread of the herpes virus to others.
