Vilerm (Acyclovir 5%) cream 5g

For the Treatment of Herpes Simplex Virus Infections What Is Acyclovir Cream Used For? Acyclovir cream is a prescription medication approved to treat cold sores. Cold sores (known medically as herpes labialis) are caused by a virus, usually herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Cold sores, also called fever blisters, usually occur on the lips or mouth (unlike canker sores, which occur inside the mouth). Cold sores can be highly contagious (they can spread to other people easily). Most people have been infected with this virus, even if they have never had a cold sore. Acyclovir cream is approved to treat recurrent cold sores in adults and adolescents age 12 and older.
