Warnings
Do not use Zovirax:
• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to aciclovir, valaciclovir, propylene glycol
or any of the other ingredients.
• Inside your mouth (e.g. for mouth ulcers) or nose.
• For any skin infection other than a cold sore.
• In the eyes or genital area.
Take special care with Zovirax:
• Always wash your hands before and after applying Zovirax.
• Do not touch your eyes until you have washed your hands after application.
• If you accidentally get cream in your eye, wash out thoroughly with warm
water. Consult your doctor if you are concerned.
• Do not swallow the cream. If you accidentally swallow any cream, it is
unlikely to cause any ill effects but consult your doctor if you are concerned.
• Avoid touching a cold sore to prevent transferring the infection or making
it worse.
• If you have been told by your doctor that you have a weakened immune
system, contact your doctor before treating any type of infection.
• If you are in any doubt if you have a cold sore, contact your doctor.
• If your cold sore gets very severe, contact your doctor.
• Tell your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking any regular medication
on prescription or over the counter products.
Pregnancy and breast feeding:
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Zovirax if you are pregnant, trying to
become pregnant or are breast feeding.
