What are common trade names for acyclovir?

Acyclovir (the active ingredient) is sold under multiple brand and store-label trade names depending on the country and formulation (tablets, capsules, cream, or ointment). Commonly used trade names include Zovirax and various generic versions marketed under different brand/store names.

What formulation does each trade name usually match?

Different trade names are often tied to specific dosage forms:
- Tablets/capsules: typically prescription oral acyclovir products (many are generic; brand availability varies by location).
- Cream/ointment: topical acyclovir products are sold under brand names depending on the country, with generics commonly available.

Where can I verify the exact trade name for my country?

Trade-name availability changes by country and time. A reliable way to confirm current brand names for acyclovir in your location is to check local pharmacy listings or drug databases. If you want, tell me your country (and whether you mean oral or topical), and I can narrow down the specific trade names that are most likely.

Is “Zovirax” still the main acyclovir brand name?

Zovirax is one of the best-known historical brand names associated with acyclovir, but the exact brand you see at a pharmacy can differ because many acyclovir products are now available as generics.
