How it works
Zovirax cream 5% contains the antiviral substance aciclovir, which is specifically formulated to inhibit the multiplication of the herpes virus on the lips. By tackling the infection at the source, the cream helps to limit the duration of the symptoms. It is a trusted choice for those who want to take immediate action at the first signs of an outbreak.
