Zovirax cream pump is a topical medication used for the treatment of cold sores. It contains Aciclovir, an anti-viral agent that penetrates deep into the skin to fight the cold sore virus. It works by stopping the spread of the herpes virus in the body.

Zovirax cream is applied to the affected area approximately five times a day at approximately four-hourly intervals for four days. It is available in a pump dispenser which may require several pumps to release the cream.

To use Zovirax cream pump, you should apply the cream to the affected area approximately five times a day at approximately four-hourly intervals for five days. Use the cream carefully, and as directed, to get the best results from it. Here are the steps on how to use Zovirax cream pump:

  1. Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.
  2. Remove the cap of the pump dispenser.
