Cold sore cream produced by GlaxoSmithKline and clinically proven to prevent cold sores from appearing. If a cold sore appears, it is able to speed the healing process. If you put some Zovirax on when you first feel a tingle on your lip, it can stop a cold sore dead in its tracks.

Apply Zovirax to the affected area 5 times daily roughly every 4 hours (after washing your hands thoroughly).

If you forget a treatment apply some as soon as you remember, then continue as before.

Continue treatment for 5 days.

If your cold sore has not been treated after this time, treatment may be continued for up to a further 5 days.

Do not exceed the stated dose.

Contains Aciclovir (Acyclovir) which prevents the cold sore virus from replicating.
