Product Use
TZovirax Cold Sore Cream Tube works to relieve the irritating symptoms such as itching and soreness and helps to speed up the healing process- causing it to scab and gradually disappear.
It contains aciclovir, an antiviral ingredient that fights the cold sore virus. With the unique MAC-P formula, the cream penetrates a cold sore up to 5 times faster to quickly reach the site of infection.
Use Zovirax five times a day at approximately four-hourly intervals for four days. Zovirax Cold Sore Cream helps you get your healthy lips back fast.
Instructions
Adults, elderly and children: apply 5 times daily at appropriate 4 hourly intervals for 4 days starting at the first sign of a cold sore (blister or tingle stages). If healing has not occurred after this time, continue for up to 10 days. If lesions are still present after 10 days a doctor should be consulted.

Women are advised to be especially careful when applying make-up. Do not use saliva to wet contact lenses.
Avoid kissing, especially children, when you have a cold sore.
Avoid breaking the blisters and picking the scabs.
