Zovirax Duo

Zovirax Duo combines aciclovir and hydrocortisone for targeted skin treatment. This dual-action cream helps relieve symptoms associated with cold sores while reducing inflammation. Suitable for adults and children over 12 years. Always follow application instructions for best results.

Zovirax Duo is used to treat cold sores on the lips and face caused by the herpes simplex virus. The aciclovir component works to combat the virus, while hydrocortisone reduces swelling, redness, and itching. It is designed for early-stage outbreaks to minimize symptoms and speed healing. This product is not a cure but may shorten the duration of outbreaks.

Users often report reduced pain and discomfort within a few days of regular application. The cream helps soothe irritated skin and may improve the appearance of blisters and sores. Some may experience mild skin dryness or peeling as the area heals. Results vary depending on how early treatment begins.

Avoid applying to broken or infected skin beyond the cold sore area. Do not use on mucous membranes like inside the mouth or eyes. Wash hands before and after use to prevent spreading the virus. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider. Keep out of reach of children.

No significant drug interactions are reported for topical use. Avoid combining with other topical medications on the same area unless directed. Do not cover treated areas with bandages or dressings unless advised by a doctor. If you are using other skin treatments, consult a healthcare professional before use.
