Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic!
Zovirax is a brand name for the drug Acyclovir, which is an anti-viral drug. It is given to treat a viral infection, most commonly Herpes infection. You must have had a herpes zoster infection back then for which you were prescribed this drug.
Hope your query is answered. Feel free to ask for any more doubts.
