• Acylovir Cream 10 gm should be applied as prescribed by your doctor, depending on the severity of the viral skin infection.
• Apply a thin layer to the affected area, including the edges of cold sores or lesions, and gently rub it until absorbed.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or inside of the nose, and do not cover the area with tight bandages unless instructed by your doctor.
• Do not swallow this medication; it is for external use only.

• Avoid touching, scratching, or rubbing the cold sore to prevent spreading the virus to other parts of your body, especially your eyes.
• Identify and avoid personal triggers that cause your outbreaks, such as prolonged sun exposure, stress, or lack of sleep. Use a high-quality lip balm with sunscreen when outdoors.
• Never share personal items like towels, lip balms, cups, or utensils during an active outbreak to protect others from catching the virus.
• Wash your hands immediately with soap and water if you accidentally touch an active cold sore.

• Do not apply Acylovir Cream 10 gm to healthy skin that shows no signs of a viral infection.
• Avoid contact with your eyes, inside your mouth, or inside your nose, as this medication can cause severe irritation in these sensitive areas.
• Do not cover the treated area with bandages, tight dressings, or cosmetics unless specifically instructed to do so by your doctor.
• Check the tube before use to ensure the seal is intact and the cream looks uniform in texture and colour. Do not use if it looks watery, separated, or discoloured.
• Use a cotton swab to apply the cream if you want to avoid touching the sore directly with your fingers.
