Acyclovir acts against herpes simplex virus by interfering with the virus's ability to make new copies of its DNA. By blocking this step in the viral life cycle, it limits the growth of the virus at the site of application. The cream is meant for skin use on the outside of the lips and face and should not be applied to the eye or inside the mouth or nose.

Must not be used in patients known to be allergic to acyclovir, valacyclovir or any component of the cream. Must not be applied on mucous membranes, including the eye or inside the mouth or nose. Check with a doctor first if the patient is immunocompromised, as the effect of the cream has not been established in such patients.
