Zovirax Ointment Drug Interactions

There are no known drug interactions with Zovirax® ointment (acyclovir ointment). Because only a small amount of the medication is absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, Zovirax ointment is unlikely to interact with medications that are taken by mouth. Studies have also suggested that the medication is not likely to interact with other ointments or creams applied to the skin.
 
There may be potential Zovirax ointment drug interactions that are not currently known. Therefore, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about any specific interactions that may apply to you.
