Description of the drug

This medicine contains the active ingredient acyclovir, which inhibits the multiplication of herpes viruses.It is used to relieve pain and itching in recurrent herpes infections of the lip area, which are characterized by blistering.No prescription is required for this product.

Active ingredients and ingredients

Application of the drug

Apply the cream thinly to the infected skin areas five times a day, every four hours during the day.The treatment usually lasts five days.If the skin symptoms worsen or there is no improvement after ten days, stop treatment and consult a doctor.Stick to the prescribed duration of treatment, even if you already feel better.

If you forget to use an application, continue the treatment as prescribed without applying the cream more frequently or thicker.For successful treatment, it is important to use the medicine for a sufficient period of time.If you have any further questions, please contact your doctor or pharmacy.

Application instructions

It is best to apply the cream with a cotton swab, which you coat with the necessary amount.Be sure to treat not only the visible signs of herpes, but also the surrounding areas.If you apply the cream by hand, wash your hands thoroughly before and after application to avoid additional infection.

Important notes

The cream must not be applied to mucous membranes as this can cause irritation.Especially avoid contact with eyes.If you have serious immune system disorders, such as AIDS or after bone marrow transplants, you should speak to a doctor before use.To date, no effects on the ability to drive or use machines have been reported.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacy before using this medicine.During pregnancy, the preparation should only be used after careful consideration of the benefits and risks.Acyclovir is hardly absorbed into the body during breastfeeding, so the dose that a child would receive through breastfeeding is small.However, avoid the child's contact with the treated parts of the body.

Additional notes

In order to achieve the greatest possible treatment success, you should use the cream at the first signs of herpes disease, such as burning, itching, feeling of tension and redness.If pustules or crusts already exist, virus-inhibiting treatment with acyclovir is no longer useful.Measurable acyclovir concentrations in the blood could not be determined after using the cream.
