Zovirax Ointment is used to treat genital herpes lesions. This is a common infection spread primarily through sexual contact. Once you have this virus, is stays dormant in your body and may reactivate several times a year. Genital herpes causes your genital area to become painful, itchy, and can cause sores to appear, although, some people with genital herpes have no symptoms. Those with no symptoms are still able to spread the virus to others. There is no cure for this condition at this time, however, using Zovirax Ointment, you should be able to find some relief in symptoms.

Zovirax Ointment (acyclovir) is effective at treating genital herpes lesions because as an antiviral, it is able to stop the growth and spread of the herpes virus. This allows the immune system to work more easily and much quicker.

Always follow directions given to you by your doctor. Instructions can usually also be found on the prescription or prescription bottle/container.

Do not take this medication by mouth. Topical medications are meant for external skin use only. You should begin applying this medication as soon as symptoms appear. Always wash your hands before and after applying medical ointment. Only use a small amount of ointment-just enough to cover the genital lesions. Wear a glove, finger cot, or cotton swab when applying the ointment; this will help avoid spreading the virus to other body parts and other people.

Most patients use this ointment about 6 times per day for roughly 7 days.

Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture.
