Improved symptom relief

Recognised symptom relief with aciclovir is an effective and clinically proven treatment for acute severe acute blistering jock itch (Aciclagen herpes simplex-like).

In a previously published in, aciclovir was used to treat severe acute blistering jock itch (Aciclagen herpes simplex-like) in children and adolescents aged 12 years and older.

The active ingredient in aciclovir is aciclovir hydrochloride, a well-known antiviral medication used to treat severe acute blistering jock itch (Aciclagen herpes simplex-like).

The primary aim of treatment with aciclovir is to reduce the severity of acute acute blistering jock itch (Aciclagen herpes simplex-like), which can be life threatening. However, children and adolescents aged 12 years and older respond well to treatment.

Aciclovir is an antiviral medication that targets viral DNA polymerase, an enzyme which converts aciclovir into aciclovir hydrochloride. This reduces the virus's ability to replicate and spread by inhibiting the viral enzyme.

In the absence of evidence from controlled clinical trials, aciclovir is generally well tolerated and has shown promising results in treating acute severe acute blistering jock itch (Aciclagen herpes simplex-like).

If you are unwell or need an inhaler urgently as your GP or care team are already using aciclovir as your treatment option, Dr Fox may be able to help.

• In people with genital herpes, Zovirax does not protect against the spread of the virus to others. You can spread the virus even if you do not have symptoms. Therefore always use an effective barrier method such as condoms or dental dams during all sexual activity.
