Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical cream that combines Acyclovir 5% and Lidocaine 2%. This unique formulation is designed to address a range of skin conditions, such as cold sores, genital herpes, shingles, and chickenpox. Acyclovir, an antiviral medication, functions by inhibiting the virus's ability to multiply. Concurrently, Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, aids in alleviating pain and itching associated with these conditions.
This topical cream is a potent treatment option, as it can significantly reduce the severity and duration of symptoms associated with these skin conditions. The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application directly on the affected skin area. The recommended usage is three to five times a day, applied directly to the affected area. However, it is crucial not to exceed the recommended dosage.
It is important to note that this formulation is not advised for children under the age of 12. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this cream with caution. Patients should also be monitored for any signs of an allergic reaction, which may include symptoms such as rash, hives, or difficulty breathing.

Acyclovir 5%/Lidocaine 2% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), including genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles. This semisolid preparation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, allowing for convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.
The cream combines the antiviral properties of acyclovir with the analgesic effects of lidocaine.

Lidocaine, on the other hand, is a local anesthetic that helps to alleviate the pain, itching, and burning sensations often associated with HSV infections.
When using Acyclovir 5%/Lidocaine 2% Topical Cream, it is crucial to adhere to the directions provided by your healthcare provider. The cream should be applied to the affected area as instructed, avoiding contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Hands should be washed thoroughly after application to prevent the spread of the virus.
Patients should be aware that this cream may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals. It may also cause skin irritation or a burning sensation. If any of these side effects occur, it is recommended to contact your healthcare provider immediately.
It is important to understand that Acyclovir 5%/Lidocaine 2% Topical Cream is not a cure for HSV infections. It is designed to manage the symptoms and reduce the severity of outbreaks, but it does not prevent the spread of the virus. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of this medication, please consult with your healthcare provider.

Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.
