RelonChem Aciclovir 5% Cream – 10g

Aciclovir cream contains the antiviral, aciclovir. It destroys the herpes simplex virus that is responsible for causing cold sores to appear around the lips and face. If the cold sore outbreak is caught early, at the ‘tingle’ phase, Aciclovir cream can sometimes prevent the cold sore from coming out. In most cases, it can help a cold sore to heal within 4 – 5 days.

Recurrent cold sores often appear in the same place. The skin in this area often tingles or burns before a cold sore comes out in to a blister around the lip. Aciclovir should be applied as soon as the tingle is felt.

Aciclovir cream is suitable for ordering online if you suffer with recurrent cold sores that have been diagnosed by your doctor. It should not be used in children or to treat genital herpes. If cold sores appear around the nose or are yellow and crusty, it may be a sign of impetigo and requires treatment from your doctor.
