In Russia we use cream oksolinum during the flu season to prevent catching the flu (we apply the cream inside of the nose).
I saw that aciklovir (zovirax) is the analog to that cream in the US. Do you think it will work in the same way if I use Zovirax for nazal applications to prevent catching the flu?

Zovirax (acyclovir) is an anti-viral medication active against herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1), 2 (HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV).
Zovirax Cream is intended for cutaneous use only and should not be used in the eye or inside the mouth or nose.
You are best to see your doctor for a flu vaccination if you wish to prevent flu.
