Zovirax (Aciclovir)

Zovirax (aciclovir) is a topical antiviral treatment for skin conditions caused by herpes simplex virus. It helps reduce symptoms like blisters and sores when applied early. Suitable for adults and children. Always follow usage instructions.

Zovirax cream is primarily used to treat outbreaks of cold sores and genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus. It works by slowing the growth and spread of the virus on the skin. The cream may also be used for other skin conditions as directed by a healthcare provider. It does not cure herpes but may shorten healing time.

When applied as directed, Zovirax cream helps reduce the severity and duration of herpes outbreaks. Users often notice a decrease in pain, itching, and the formation of new blisters. The cream is designed for external use only and should not be applied to mucous membranes or inside the mouth.

Avoid applying Zovirax to broken or severely irritated skin unless directed by a healthcare professional. Wash hands before and after use to prevent spreading the virus. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not cover treated areas with bandages or dressings unless advised.

Zovirax topical cream has minimal systemic absorption, so interactions with other medications are unlikely. However, avoid using other topical products on the same area unless recommended by a doctor. Always inform your healthcare provider about all products you use.
