| Acyclovir (Zovirax) is an antiviral used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses including genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chicken pox. Acyclovir slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can fight off the infection. Acyclovir lessens the symptoms of these infections and shortens the length of time you are sick. Treatment with Acyclovir should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms (e.g. tingling, burning, blisters).
