Acyclostad is used to treat cold sores on the lips and face at the stage of itching, burning or blistering. Clinical trials have shown that early treatment with this product stops the formation of cold sores. If a cold sore has already appeared, treatment with this medicine will speed up its healing.
Dosage and method of use
Always use this medicine exactly as directed in the package insert or by your doctor or pharmacist. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist. The amount of cream in the tube is sufficient for one treatment for herpes.
It is important to start treatment for cold sores at the first sign, such as burning or itching. If you use Acyclostad cream at the burning stage, you can prevent the formation of a cold sore. If a blister has already appeared, early use of this product will speed up the healing process. For use on children, adolescents and adults, wash hands thoroughly before and after applying the cream; avoiding possible aggravation or transmission of the infection to another site.
Method of submission:
Gently apply the cream to the entire affected area with a half-centimeter overlap into the surrounding healthy skin. Apply the cream to the affected area five times a day at four-hour intervals (except at night).
Duration of treatment:
Treatment usually lasts four days. If the cold sore does not heal in this time, you can continue treatment for another six days. If the cold sore does not heal after ten days or if the symptoms worsen, consult a doctor for further action. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Do not apply any other topical product to the affected area at the same time as this product.

Avoid applying it to the lining of the mouth. Acyclostad should also not be used to treat mouth ulcers. If you have any doubts about whether you have herpes, consult your doctor. The product must not be used to treat a herpetic infection on the mucous membranes of the eyes or genital tract (external genital tract), if you have a severe form of cold sores or a severe form is developing, consult a doctor before using the product, if you have a weakened immune system (e.g. you are HIV positive, have AIDS or have had a bone marrow transplant) and are therefore under the care of a specialist doctor, you must not use Acyclostad without consulting this doctor as your ability to fight infection is impaired.
