Zovirax Cream (active ingredient: acyclovir) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Herpes Simplex Virus Infections: Zovirax Cream is used to treat herpes labialis (cold sores) on the lips and face caused by the herpes simplex virus.
  2. Genital Herpes: It is indicated for the treatment of initial genital herpes and recurrent episodes of genital herpes in immunocompetent adults.

Zovirax Cream belongs to a class of drugs known as antivirals, which work by stopping the growth and spread of the herpes virus in the body.

Zovirax Cream is applied topically to the affected area(s) four to six times a day for up to ten days. Start using Zovirax Cream at the first sign of a cold sore, such as a tingling, burning, or itching sensation. This can help to reduce the severity and duration of the cold sore.

  1. Wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

  3. Rub the cream gently into the skin until it disappears.
  4. If you accidentally get the cream in your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.

Avoid getting the cream in your eyes, nose, or mouth, and do not swallow it. If you accidentally get the cream in your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.
