Acyclovir is a first-line antiviral option for shingles, especially when cost is a concern. It effectively reduces rash duration and complications like postherpetic neuralgia. However, it requires more frequent dosing (800 mg five times daily) compared to alternatives like valacyclovir, which may affect adherence.
