Zovirax 5% Cold Sore Cream 2g

Zovirax 5 % Cold Sore Cream is a topical antiviral medication formulated with acyclovir 5 %, specifically designed to treat cold sores (herpes labialis) a common viral skin infection caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Cold sores typically begin with tingling, itching or burning around the lips or face before small, fluid-filled blisters appear. When Zovirax cream is applied as soon as symptoms begin (e.g., tingling stage), the cream helps shorten the duration of the outbreak, relieves cracking and pain, and promotes earlier healing by targeting viral activity right at the lesion site. Zovirax cream is suitable for use on the lips and surrounding skin (avoiding eyes) and is often recommended for recurrent cold sore outbreaks that happen due to stress, illness, sunlight exposure or other triggers. Consistent application as directed usually five times daily for four days supports faster symptom relief and reduces the time the blistered area remains open and contagious.
