Acyclovir

Acyclovir is the generic version of the prescription drug Zovirax. Acyclovir is used to treat the symptoms of chicken pox, shingles, herpes virus infections of the genitals, the skin, the brain, and mucous membranes (lips and mouth), and widespread herpes virus infections in newborns. Acyclovir is also used to prevent recurrent genital herpes infections. Although Acyclovir will not cure herpes, it does help relieve the pain and discomfort and helps the sores (if any) heal faster.
