Lipsore – Acyclovir 5% Cream 2g

LIPSORE is a brand of acyclovir 5% cream, which is an antiviral medication used to treat cold sores/fever blisters (herpes labialis). It works by stopping the growth of the virus, helping to speed up the healing of the sores and decrease symptoms such as tingling, pain, burning, and itching.

Here’s how to use LIPSORE acyclovir cream effectively:

• Apply the cream five times a day for at least four days.
• Use the medication at the first sign of infection (such as tingling, burning, redness).
• Wash your hands with soap and water before and after applying the medication.
• Clean and dry the affected areas before applying the medication.
• Apply enough cream to cover all affected areas.
• Do not apply this medication in the eyes or nose, inside the mouth, or inside the vagina.
• Avoid close physical contact with others during an outbreak until the cold sores have completely healed.

Remember, while acyclovir cream helps to treat the symptoms of herpes, it does not cure the virus and does not prevent the transmission of the infection to others. Always follow the advice of your doctor or pharmacist when using this medication.
