Acivir Cream is usually taken 5 times per day for 4 days or as directed by a doctor. Before applying the cream, clean and dry your hands and the affected area thoroughly.

Wash your hands with soap and water to remove any excess cream on the hands. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient's condition and their response to the therapy.
