Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Zovirax Duo is used to treat cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. It combines aciclovir, an antiviral agent, with hydrocortisone, a mild steroid, to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This cream is designed for external use on facial cold sores. It may help shorten outbreak duration when applied at the first sign.

Side Effects

  • The cream provides a soothing effect on cold sores, reducing redness and swelling. Users often report faster healing of blisters when applied as directed. The combination of ingredients may help relieve discomfort and itching associated with outbreaks. Results vary by individual and timing of application.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or broken skin. Wash hands before and after applying to prevent spreading the virus. Do not use on genital herpes or chickenpox. Keep the tube tightly closed and store below 25°C. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or persist beyond 5 days.

Avoid Interactions

  • No significant drug interactions are reported for topical use. Avoid using other skin treatments on the same area unless directed by a healthcare professional.
