What is Aciclovir for Cold Sores?

Aciclovir is an antiviral medication primarily used for treating cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1).

While Aciclovir doesn't cure cold sores, it significantly speeds up healing and can prevent future outbreaks.

How Does Aciclovir for Cold Sores Work?

Aciclovir targets the enzymes that the herpes simplex virus needs for replication. By inhibiting these enzymes, Aciclovir prevents the virus from multiplying, allowing your immune system to control the outbreak more effectively.

How to Use Aciclovir for Cold Sores

Aciclovir comes in 400 mg tablets for treating cold sores. The typical dosage is one tablet three times a day, spaced four hours apart.

Side Effects of Aciclovir for Cold Sores

Like all medications, Aciclovir can have side effects. Common ones include headaches, dizziness, and gastrointestinal issues.
