Description:
Chemical Name: ACYCLOVIR (ay-SYE-kloe-veer) Zovirax is used to treat the symptoms of chickenpox, shingles, herpes virus infections of the genitals (sex organs), the skin, the brain, and mucous membranes (lips and mouth), and widespread herpes virus infections in newborns. Zovirax is also used to prevent recurrent genital herpes infections. Although Zovirax will not cure herpes, it does help relieve the pain and discomfort and helps the sores (if any) heal faster.
