What is Zovirax Cream?

Zovirax Cream is an antiviral medication used to treat cold sores on the lips and face and skin symptoms caused by the herpes virus. Zovirax contains acyclovir and works by stopping the growth of the virus. There is no cure for herpes and acyclovir will not prevent you passing the infection to someone else or prevent you from developing symptoms in the future.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• You should start using Zovirax at the first appearance of symptoms such as burning, tingling or blisters.
• Wash your hands before and after applying this medication.
• You should only use enough cream to cover the affected area completely.
• If you are using Zovirax Cream to treat genital herpes, use a finger cot or rubber gloves to avoid spreading the infection.
• Follow your doctor’s directions and use this medication for the full prescribed amount of time even if your symptoms improve quickly.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug or other allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.
• Your medical history especially of a weak immune system.
• If you are pregnant, planning on pregnancy or breast feeding.

Also be aware that:

• This medication should not be used by anyone under 12.
• You should not breast feed if you have a herpes lesion on or near your breast.

Common acyclovir cream side effects may include but are not limited to:

• Dry or cracked lips.

Contact your doctor if you experience any of the following side effects of Zovirax Cream:

• Signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, difficulty breathing or a swelling of your face, lips or throat.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Zovirax Cream?
