Acyclovir for cold sores is an FDA-approved prescription medication. Millions of cold sore sufferers are getting benefit from it. Zovirax, the brand name for Acyclovir, is an effective treatment for fever blisters. However, it does not work for everyone. The only way to know for sure if it will work for you is to give it a try.
These sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). Acyclovir for cold sores prevents HSV from replicating inside your cells. That allows your immune system to come in and sweep up the virus.
Acyclovir treatment must be applied at the very first stage at which you feel the fever blister symptoms (the tingle stage). You may also feel itching or burning in addition to the tingling. Fever blister outbreaks can be treated fast by applying Acyclovir directly to the affected area. If you are a few days late with your application of Acyclovir you may get a fever blister, but having applied the medication already, the duration of the sore should be reduced.
Acyclovir medication comes four different varieties. The most common and prescribed medication by doctors is Zovirax in pill form. From pharmacies and different health stores you can also opt for acyclovir ointment. In order to get rid of fever blisters, you can also try Acyclovir tablets and liquids.

I got identified with herpes (type 2) about five years ago, when I was still in college and had a foolish one-night stand. I realize lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date other men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/qe4mJ everything got better.
Not only was I able to eradicate all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This method provided the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.
