Product Description:
Zovirax Cream is indicated for the treatment of Herpes Simplex virus infections of the skin including initial and recurrent genital herpes and herpes labialis.
Route of administration: topical.
Do not use in eyes.
Zovirax Cream is a prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of cold sores (Herpes Labialis) and Genital Herpes.
Zovirax Cream may be used alone or with other medications.
Zovirax Cream belongs to a class of drugs called Antivirals.
It is not known if Zovirax Cream is safe and effective in children younger than 12 years of age.
How To Use:
ZOVIRAX Cream should be applied 5 times per day for 4 days.
Therapy should be initiated as early as possible following the onset of signs or symptoms of herpes labialis, i.e. during the prodrome or when lesions appear.
For adolescents 12 years of age and older, the dosage is the same as in adults.
Use the cream for at least 5 days.
If the genital herpes sore has not healed by then, you can carry on using the cream for another 5 days.
If the affected area has still not healed after a total of 10 days, stop using the cream and tell your doctor.
Warnings And Precautions:
Zovirax Cream is not recommended for application to mucous membranes such as in the mouth, eye or vagina, as it may be irritant.
Particular care should be taken to avoid accidental introduction into the eye.
In severely immunocompromised patients (eg: AIDS patients or bone marrow transplant recipients) oral Zovirax dosing should be considered. Such patients should be encouraged to consult a physician concerning the treatment of any infection.
Zovirax Cream contains a specially formulated base and should not be diluted or used as a base for the incorporation of other medicaments.
