About Acivir Eye Ointment

Acivir Eye Ointment is an antiviral treatment used to manage eye infections caused by the Herpes simplex virus, such as herpes simplex keratitis. It helps relieve symptoms like redness, swelling, itching, and watering of the eyes. 

The ointment contains acyclovir, which works by inhibiting the virus's ability to multiply, preventing the infection from spreading and promoting healing. It is commonly used to treat ocular herpes and can help reduce the duration of the infection and symptoms.

Remember to follow your doctor's prescription and use the ointment five times a day inside the lower eyelid. Don't wear contact lenses during treatment.

Consult your doctor before using Acivir Eye Ointment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The ointment is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding based on limited human data.

Remember to wash your hands before and after application. Continue using the ointment for at least 3 days after healing is complete.
