Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Zovirax cream is used to treat cold sores (herpes labialis) and skin lesions caused by the varicella-zoster virus, such as shingles. It helps reduce the duration and severity of outbreaks when applied at the first sign. The ointment form is also used for genital herpes outbreaks. Always follow application instructions for best results.

Side Effects

  • When applied as directed, Zovirax cream helps shorten healing time and reduce discomfort from cold sores. Users may notice less redness and swelling as the lesion heals. The ointment form can soothe affected areas while supporting recovery. Effects vary by individual and outbreak stage.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Wash hands before and after applying Zovirax to avoid spreading infection. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes unless directed. Do not use on broken skin other than the intended area. Keep the tube tightly closed and store below 25°C. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist beyond recommended use.

Avoid Interactions

  • Zovirax topical has minimal systemic absorption, reducing interaction risks with oral medications. However, avoid combining with other topical treatments on the same area unless advised. No significant interactions with alcohol or common pain relievers have been reported. Always inform a healthcare provider about all products used.
