Apply Acivir cream only to affected skin areas. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application.
Some users experience mild skin irritation, such as burning, stinging, or redness at the application site. These effects are usually temporary and subside upon discontinuation of the cream. If irritation persists or worsens, stop using the cream and consult your doctor.
Rarely, allergic reactions may occur, manifesting as itching, swelling, or rash. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction.
Do not use Acivir cream if you are allergic to acyclovir or any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, you are currently taking, to avoid potential interactions.
Keep Acivir cream out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not use the cream after the expiration date printed on the tube.
If your symptoms don’t improve after a week of using Acivir cream, or if they worsen, consult your doctor. They can help determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
