How Does ZOVIRAX Cream Work On Recurrent Cold Sores?
ZOVIRAX Cream is a prescription antiviral that goes straight to the cold sore. It offers you flexibility—you can use ZOVIRAX Cream at any stage of a cold sore, including the tingle—because the acyclovir in ZOVIRAX Cream specifically targets the cells that have been invaded by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). Once it gets into these cells, it stops the virus from copying itself, causing shorter outbreaks. That’s how you know ZOVIRAX Cream goes to work right at the source. Keep in mind, ZOVIRAX Cream is not a cure for herpes, but it may lessen the duration of pain and shorten the length of your cold sore outbreak.
