Zovirax Cream 2g
Zovirax is used for the treatment of cold sores. The active ingredient is aciclovir, an antiviral agent. Apply at the first signs of a cold sore (such as tingling and itching). It can also be used to speed up healing if one has already appeared.
Directions for use:
Suitable for all ages:
- Apply at the first signs of a cold sore (such as tingling and itching).
- Apply liberally to the affected area 5 times a day.
- Continue treatment for 4 days. If your cold sore hasn’t healed after this time, you can use the cream for up to 10 days in total.
- Treat your cold sore for 4 full days to ensure rapid healing.
- If you forget a dose, apply when you remember and continue as before.
- If your cold sore hasn’t healed fully after 10 days, or if it gets worse at any time, contact your doctor.
- Never give your Zovirax to others, even if their symptoms are the same as yours.
- The amount of cream inside this pack is enough for one cold sore attack. For any future attacks, start treatment at the first signs of a cold sore developing (such as tingling or itching). It can also be started during the blister stage.
- Do not use more than the recommended dose.
Warnings:
Do not use Zovirax:
- If you have ever had an allergic reaction to aciclovir, valaciclovir, propylene glycol or any of the other ingredients (listed below).
- Inside your mouth (e.g. for mouth ulcers) or nose.
- For any skin infection other than a cold sore.
- In the eyes or genital area.
Take special care with Zovirax
- Always wash your hands before and after applying Zovirax.
- Do not touch your eyes until you have washed your hands after application.
- If you accidentally get cream in your eye, wash out thoroughly with warm water. Consult your doctor if you are concerned.
- Do not swallow the cream. If you accidentally swallow any cream, it is unlikely to cause any ill effects but consult your doctor if you are concerned.
- Avoid touching a cold sore to prevent transferring the infection or making it worse.
- If you have been told by your doctor that you have a weakened immune system, contact your doctor before treating any type of infection.
- If you are in any doubt if you have a cold sore, contact your doctor.
- If your cold sore gets very severe, contact your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking any regular medication on prescription or over the counter products.
