Zovirax Cream (generic name: acyclovir) is a medicine for treating cold sores and fever blisters (herpes labialis). It helps heal the sores faster and reduces symptoms like tingling, pain, burning, and itching. Acyclovir is in a group of drugs called antivirals, which work by stopping the virus from growing. This medicine doesn’t cure herpes, stop passing the infection to others, or prevent future outbreaks.

Dosage

The usual procedure is to begin using the medication when the first symptoms of an infection are noticed, such as tingling, burning, or redness. Hands should be washed with soap and water before and after medication use. The affected areas should be cleaned and dried before applying the cream. It should be gently rubbed into the affected area, typically five times a day (every three to four hours) for four days for cold sores. An adequate amount of cream should cover all red, tingling, burning areas and sores.

The medication should only be used on the skin and not be applied to the eyes, nose, mouth, or genitals. If it comes into contact with these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.

Storage

Keep it in a place cooler than 25°C/77°F, but avoid storing it in the fridge. Please read our friendly tips on handling medicine safely.

FAQ

How much Zovirax to apply?

Use sufficient medicine to cover all the sores. Normally, applying a 1.25-cm (about ½-inch) strip of cream to each 5 × 5 cm (about 2 × 2 inches) affected skin area is enough unless a doctor advises otherwise.

Can you permanently cure cold sores?

Cold sores usually heal themselves in about two weeks. While there isn’t a cure for cold sores, medications can help lessen the symptoms.

Can I use cold sore ointment on genital herpes?

Topical antiviral creams for cold sores on the mouth should not be applied to the genital area under any circumstance.

Read the information leaflet that comes with the medication.

Most people who use Zovirax Cream do not experience any adverse side effects. Some of the side effects that have been reported involve reactions at the site of application, such as temporary stinging and burning.

Not all side effects are listed here. If these or other unlisted symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Cold sores: Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus.
The signs include a burning feeling in the mouth, followed by painful sores in the mouth that can appear on the tongue, gums, lips, or throat. Other symptoms may include a sore throat, pain when swallowing, swollen glands, fever, body aches, headache, and nausea.
A healthcare provider can usually identify cold sores by examining them.

  • How long is a cold sore contagious?
    Cold sores stay contagious until they disappear completely, typically around two weeks. They spread most easily when fluid leaks from the sores.
  • Should I change my toothbrush after a cold sore?
    Because the herpes virus can linger on your toothbrush for days after a cold sore appears, you must discard the old toothbrush and switch to a new one.
  • What is the main trigger for cold sores?
    Cold sores stem from the herpes simplex virus. Once the virus enters the body, it can lead to cold sore flare-ups. These outbreaks can be prompted by sunlight, chilly winds, catching a cold, having a weak immune system, hormonal changes, or feeling stressed.
