| Therapy with Zovirax ointment should
be instituted as early as possible following the
initial onset of signs
and symptoms of the herpes infection. Infection
most commonly manifests itself as a cold sore,
or as clusters of blisters, bumps and rashes in
the genital area. Symptoms of infection include
tingling, itching, burning or redness of the skin
at the infection site. Symptoms often times begin
before any cold sores or genital blisters, bumps
and rashes are noticed.
- Apply a small amount of zovirax directly
to the infected area 5 times per day.
- Massage zovirax into the skin very gently.
- It is best to wear a latex glove when applying
ZOVIRAX OINTMENT to the infected area. Herpes
Simplex Virus can adhere to your finger during
the application process and be inoculated to
other body sites or to other persons. We will
supply a free box of latex gloves with each
order of ZOVIRAX ONINTMENT.
- After removing the glove it still is necessary
to wash your hands immediately after contact
with the infected area.
- Use the zovirax cream ointment until the
infection is completed crusted or shows clear-cut
signs of healing.
- Do not use zovirax cream ointment for the
eyes.
- Do not apply zovirax continuously to try
to prevent infection from reoccurring.
