Acivir Cream has been available for the treatment of cold sores/fever blisters. The active ingredient acyclovir speeds up healing of the sores and decreases symptoms such as burning sensation, tingling, and pain. It is an antiviral medication that is applied topically to stop the growth of the virus. The topical therapy is not a cure for herpes and does not prevent spreading of infection to others. The main active ingredient Acyclovir is a synthetic nucleoside analogue, used actively against herpes viruses. This medicine is quite effective in reducing the discomfort and severity of cold sores, also called fever blisters found on lips and face, caused by Herpes Simplex virus infection.
