Acivir Cream is a topical medicine, which means it is meant to be applied externally on the affected area of the skin.

The active ingredient in Acivir Cream is acyclovir, which is a synthetic nucleoside analogue medication.

• Acyclovir enters infected cells.
• It gets converted into an active form by viral enzymes.
• The active form of acyclovir inhibits viral DNA synthesis.
• This inhibition prevents the virus from multiplying and spreading further.
• As a result, it helps reduce symptoms, promote healing, and control outbreaks caused by the herpes simplex virus.
