Vircyclo Cream
Vircyclo Cream is a prescription antiviral medicine containing Acyclovir 5% w/w. It is used to treat skin infections caused by the herpes simplex virus, including cold sores (herpes labialis) and genital herpes. When applied at the first sign of symptoms, such as tingling, itching, or redness, it helps reduce the severity of the infection and promotes faster healing.
Vircyclo Cream works by preventing the virus from multiplying in the affected skin cells. Although it does not cure herpes infections completely, it helps relieve discomfort, reduces the duration of outbreaks, and supports the healing of blisters and sores. For best results, use it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
