Zovirax Cream 2g is a topical medication designed to provide relief from cold sores and fever blisters. This product is a small, portable tube containing 2 grams of cream, making it easy to carry in a purse, pocket, or travel bag for on-the-go treatment.

The active ingredient in this cream is acyclovir, a potent antiviral medication. Acyclovir works by inhibiting the replication of the herpes simplex virus, the virus responsible for causing cold sores. By stopping the virus from multiplying, the cream helps to speed up the healing process, reduce the duration of symptoms, and limit the spread of the virus to other parts of the body or to other people.

To use this product, apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area five times a day, approximately every four hours, for four days. It's best to start treatment as soon as you notice the first signs of a cold sore, such as tingling, redness, or a small bump. The cream is easy to apply and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

In addition to acyclovir, this cream also contains other ingredients that help to soothe and moisturize the skin. These include propylene glycol, which helps to retain moisture in the skin, and cetearyl alcohol, which has emollient properties that soften and smooth the skin.

This product is suitable for adults and children over the age of 12. It's important to note that while this cream can help to manage the symptoms of cold sores, it is not a cure for the herpes simplex virus. Regular use can help to reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks, but it's still possible to transmit the virus to others even when using this product.

Before using this cream, make sure to wash your hands and the affected area with soap and water. After applying the cream, wash your hands again to avoid spreading the virus. Avoid touching your eyes or genitals after applying the cream, as this can spread the virus to these areas.

While side effects are rare, they can include burning or stinging at the application site. If these symptoms persist or worsen, or if you experience other symptoms such as rash or swelling, stop using the product and seek medical advice.

In summary, Zovirax Cream 2g is a convenient and effective treatment for cold sores and fever blisters. Its active ingredient, acyclovir, works to inhibit the replication of the herpes simplex virus, helping to speed up the healing process and reduce the duration of symptoms. With its easy-to-use tube and fast-absorbing formula, this cream is a practical choice for managing cold sores at home or on the go.
