Aciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat herpes virus infections such as genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chickenpox. It works by preventing the virus from replicating and spreading throughout the body.

Aciclovir comes in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, creams, ointments, and intravenous injections. The type and severity of the infection being treated will determine the appropriate form and dosage of Aciclovir.

At Rapidmeds we currently stock only the tablet formulation but you can buy the cream from any high street pharmacy.

Aciclovir, like all medications, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, and skin rash. It can occasionally cause more serious side effects like kidney damage, seizures, or changes in blood cell counts. Before beginning treatment, it is critical to discuss any potential risks and benefits of Aciclovir with a healthcare provider.
