Aciclovir-Richter Cream

Aciclovir-Richter is a topical antiviral medication used primarily for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections, such as cold sores. The product is part of the extensive dermatological and pharmaceutical portfolio of Gedeon Richter, a major European pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Historically, the brand and product are deeply rooted in Hungarian pharmaceutical history. Gedeon Richter, the company's founder, established the business in Budapest at the turn of the 20th century. Today, the manufacturing of this specific cream often takes place at Richter Gedeon's facilities in Romania (Gedeon Richter Romania) or Hungary, though distribution and manufacturing can vary across Central and Eastern Europe.

Gedeon Richter remains an independent, publicly-traded company based in Hungary. It is one of the most significant pharmaceutical companies in the CEE region, maintaining its identity and ownership structure as a primary entity rather than being a subsidiary of a larger global conglomerate.
