The cream contains the active ingredient Acyclovir, which works by stopping the herpes virus from replicating, thereby slowing its spread and reducing inflammation.

How to Use Zovirax Cream

To use Zovirax Cream, wash your hands thoroughly and apply a small amount of the cream directly to the cold sore, ensuring that the affected area is completely covered. You should apply the cream five times a day for up to ten days, or until the cold sore has completely healed.

While using Zovirax Cream, it is important to avoid touching your cold sore as much as possible and to wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of the virus.

If you experience any side effects while using Zovirax Cream, such as itching, burning, or stinging, discontinue use and speak to your healthcare provider.
