Aciclostad cream for cold sores

Aciclostad is a well-known pharmaceutical brand in the German market, primarily used for the treatment of herpes simplex infections, such as cold sores. The brand is part of the STADA Arzneimittel AG portfolio, a company with deep roots in German pharmaceutical history, founded in 1895 in Dresden as a cooperative of pharmacists.

Today, STADA is a leading global producer of generic drugs and consumer healthcare products. While the company underwent significant changes in ownership—including a buyout by Bain Capital and Cinven in 2017—it maintains its headquarters and primary operations in Bad Vilbel, Germany. Aciclostad is manufactured in high-compliance pharmaceutical facilities in Germany to meet strict EU healthcare standards.
