Are you Looking to Buy Zovirax Ointment (Acyclovir) from PrescriptionPoint.

Zovirax Ointment (acyclovir)

Indications 

Zovirax ointment is applied topically to treat initial and recurrent outbreaks of herpes simplex virus infections, including cold sores (herpes simplex labialis). It helps in reducing the severity of the symptoms and promoting faster healing of the lesions. 

Ingredients 

• Active Ingredient: Acyclovir. 
• Inactive Ingredients: White petrolatum, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, propylene glycol, and mineral oil. 

Dosage and Administration 

• Apply Zovirax Ointment to the affected area of the skin 5 times a day, approximately every 4 hours, for a total of 4 days. 
• Begin treatment as soon as you notice the first signs of an outbreak, such as tingling or itching, to maximize effectiveness. 
• Clean your hands before and after applying the ointment to avoid spreading the virus and to maintain hygiene. 
• Apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected area and gently rub it in until it is absorbed. 
• Do not apply Zovirax Ointment inside your eyes, mouth, or nose. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. 
• Avoid applying the ointment to broken or irritated skin, as this may increase the risk of adverse effects. 
• Do not use more than the recommended dose or apply the ointment more frequently than prescribed, as this may lead to side effects or reduced efficacy. 
• Do not cover the treated area with bandages or dressings unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. 

Mechanism of Action 

Zovirax Ointment (acyclovir) acts by inhibiting the replication of the herpes simplex virus. It interferes with the viral DNA synthesis, which prevents the virus from multiplying and spreading. This helps to alleviate the symptoms of the infection and speeds up the healing process of the skin lesions. 

Contraindications 

• Do not use Zovirax Ointment if you are allergic to acyclovir or any of the inactive ingredients in the ointment. 
• Avoid using the ointment if you have severe kidney disease, as it may not be suitable for individuals with significant renal impairment. 
• Zovirax Ointment is not intended for use in treating systemic viral infections or infections in mucous membranes, such as the inside of the mouth or genital areas. 

Side Effects 

Common Side Effects: 

• Mild skin irritation or itching 
• Dryness or redness at the application site 
• Burning or stinging sensation 

Serious Side Effects: 

• Severe allergic reactions (including rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing) 
• Severe skin irritation or blistering 
• Signs of an infection at the application site (such as increased redness, swelling, or pus) 

Precautions 

• Inform your healthcare provider if you have any pre-existing kidney problems or other conditions that may affect your skin’s ability to heal. 
• Avoid close contact with others, especially newborns and pregnant women, if you have an active herpes outbreak to prevent spreading the virus. 
• Use the ointment only on the affected areas and avoid applying it to areas with broken skin or existing skin conditions. 
• If symptoms persist or worsen after 4 days of treatment, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. 

Storage Instructions 

• Store Zovirax Ointment at room temperature, between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C), away from heat and moisture. 
• Keep the ointment tightly closed in its original container to protect it from contamination and to prevent it from drying out.
