How Long Does It Take for
Acyclovir to Work?

What are Acyclovir Creams?

Acyclovir is the generic brand name for the medication Zovirax. Acyclovir creams are medicated ointments used to help heal cold sores and blisters caused by herpes outbreaks. The creams are antiviral, which inhibits the replication of the virus that causes the outbreaks. While it is not a cure for herpes – as there is no cure for herpes – Acyclovir creams greatly reduce the duration of the outbreak and can bring some soothing relief to the area. It is for topical use only and must not be used inside the mouth or vagina. As a medicated product, your pharmacist or doctor will tell you how long to use your Acyclovir creams based on their recommended dosage.

When does it start to work?

While you will be using your Acyclovir creams for a number of days, you can expect early results quickly. The first thing many patients notice is a decrease in that annoying burning, itching, and uncomfortable feeling an outbreak can cause. Next, most patients notice a decrease in healing time of the sores and other effects of the outbreak. Expect soothing relief and a shorter outbreak duration overall.
