Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Zovirax cream is commonly used to treat outbreaks of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. It may also be used for other skin infections caused by the same virus, such as genital herpes when applied as directed. The cream helps manage symptoms like blisters and discomfort during flare-ups.

Side Effects

  • When applied as directed, Zovirax cream may help reduce the duration of cold sore outbreaks and ease associated symptoms like tingling or itching. Some users report faster healing of blisters and less discomfort during the healing process.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Avoid applying Zovirax to open wounds or broken skin. Wash hands before and after use to prevent spreading the infection. If irritation or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider. Keep the cream away from eyes and mucous membranes.

Avoid Interactions

  • Zovirax topical cream has minimal systemic absorption, so significant drug interactions are unlikely. However, avoid using other topical treatments on the same area unless directed by a healthcare professional. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are using.
