More About Zovirax Herpes Treatment
What is Zovirax?
Zovirax cream (acyclovir cream) is a potent antiviral medication
used for the treatment of Herpes Simplex Virus infections. It comes
in a 5% ointment in 15g tubes.
Zovirax cream is selectively absorbed into cells infected with Herpes
Simplex Virus. Within the infected cell, Herpes Simplex Virus coded
enzymes convert Zovirax into its active form. This active form of
Zovirax interferes with viral DNA replication, inhibiting replication
and growth of Herpes Simplex Virus.
Since Zovirax cream is preferentially absorbed and converted into
its active form only by Herpes Simplex Virus infected cells, Zovirax
is much less toxic for uninfected cells.

About
Herpes Simplex Virus
The Herpes family has over 80 known viruses. Of these, 8 are known
to cause disease in humans. The most common disease is Herpes Simplex
Virus Type-1 (HSV-1) and type-2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 and HSV-2 look the
same under the microscope, and either can infect the mouth (oral
herpes, lip blisters, mouth blisters) or genitals (genital herpes).
Usually, HSV-1 occurs in the oral region, and HSV-2 occurs in the
genital region.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 usually causes herpes labialis
commonly known as oral herpes, cold sores or fever blisters. These
are highly infectious open sores that crust over before healing.
Although not as likely, HSV-1 can cause genital herpes.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type-2 is a contagious viral infection
primarily causing genital herpes in men and women. The most common
signs and symptoms of genital herpes include recurrent clusters
of blisters, bumps and rashes in genital areas. HSV-2 can also cause
herpes labialis (cold sores), although less often than HSV-1.

Transmission
of Herpes Simplex Virus
Unlike other viruses transmitted through air, Herpes Simplex Viruses
require physical contact. The most common cause of transmission
is mouth-to-mouth (HSV-1) or genital-to-genital (HSV-2) contact.
However, there are other possible means of transmission, such as
hand-to-genital and mouth-to-genital contact.

Clinical benefits of Zovirax for Herpes
treatment
When Zovirax cream is applied to the infected area it reduces healing
time, the duration that the herpes infection causes pain and decreases
the time that the infection sheds Herpes Simplex Virus. Viral shedding
is the process by which Herpes Simplex Virus is transmitted from
one person to another.

How to use Zovirax for Herpes treatment
Begin Zovirax cream therapy as early as possible following initial
signs and symptoms of herpes infection. The most common signs of
infection are cold sores, or clusters of blisters, bumps and rashes
in the genital area. Symptoms of herpes infection include tingling,
itching, burning or redness of the skin at the infection site. Herpes
symptoms often begin before any cold sores (lip blisters), genital
blisters, bumps and rashes are noted.
• Apply small amount directly on the infected area 5 times
a day.
• Massage Zovirax cream into the skin very gently.
• Use latex gloves when applying Zovirax cream. Herpes Simplex
Virus can stay on your fingers during application and be spread
to healthy body sites or other people. We supply a free box of
latex gloves with each order of Zovirax cream.
• Remove gloves and wash hands immediately.
• Use Zovirax cream until the infection is completely crusted
over or shows distinctive signs of healing.
• Do not use Zovirax cream in or around the eyes.
• Do not continuously apply Zovirax to try to prevent infection
from reoccurring.

If
I am on therapy, can I still spread the virus?
YES, you can still spread the virus. No Herpes medication or Herpes
treatment has been proven to prevent the spread of herpes infection.
You and your partner should always use condoms and avoid sexual
contact during a herpes outbreak (genital herpes, oral herpes, lip
blisters, mouth blisters).

Side effects for Zovirax
Some recurrent or long-term side effects for Zovirax are:
• swelling or pain at application site
• itching at application site
• redness at application site
If you experience any of the above side effects, stop using Zovirax
cream.
