Introduction
Zovirax 5% Cream is a topical antiviral cream containing Acyclovir 5% w/w (50mg per gram) as its active ingredient. It is used for the treatment of cold sores (herpes labialis) on the lips and face caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Zovirax is applied directly to the affected skin and works best when treatment is started as early as possible, ideally at the first sign of tingling, redness, itching, or burning. Most people tolerate the cream well, although some may experience dryness, flaking, mild burning, stinging, itching, or irritation at the application site. This cream is intended for external use only and should not be applied inside the mouth, nose, or eyes. Its safety and effectiveness have not been established for children under 12 years of age or for people with a significantly weakened immune system.
Dosage
Apply the cream five times daily, approximately every 4 hours while awake, for 4 consecutive days. Treatment should be started as early as possible when symptoms first appear. Do not continue treatment beyond the recommended duration unless advised by your doctor.
Side Effects
- Dryness or flaking of the skin
- Burning or stinging sensation
- Itching
- Dry or cracked lips
- Mild skin redness or irritation
- Contact dermatitis
- Eczema-like skin reactions (uncommon)

How to Store
Store the cream at room temperature, generally between 20°C and 25°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Keep the tube tightly closed and store it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Quick Tips
- Apply the cream at the first sign of a cold sore for the best results.

How to Take
Zovirax 5% Cream is for external use only. Wash and dry the affected area before application, then apply a thin layer to the cold sore and surrounding skin. Wash your hands before and after applying the cream. Avoid rubbing the cream in aggressively, as this may further irritate the affected area.

Contraindications

Drug & Food Interactions
Because topical acyclovir is absorbed into the bloodstream only in very small amounts, clinically significant drug interactions are unlikely. However, avoid applying other creams, lotions, ointments, or medicated products to the same area unless advised by a healthcare professional, as they may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment or increase skin irritation.
