The unique formula of Aciclovir anti-viral cream helps treat tingling and blistering caused by cold sores, which aids in a faster recovery rate from the infection.

Cold Sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex virus. The infection causes small fluid fluid-filled blisters around the mouth or lips, and it is very contagious.

The virus is passed from person to person through physical contact, for example, kissing. It is really important for people with an active cold sore infection not to kiss others, especially babies, as their immune system has not fully developed. This could lead to a dangerous infection.

For most people, a cold sore is more of an annoyance than a major problem, and the infection will usually heal on its own, but treatment with an antiviral cream can speed things up and make your cold sore less contagious.

Aciclovir cream is clinically proven to:

• Improve healing
• Treat the cold sore virus

It is really important to start treating a cold sore as soon as possible, so many patients will keep a spare tube so they can start treating the moment they feel the tingle. Whilst it is ok to treat the cold sore once it has broken out, prompt treatment as soon as the tingle starts can prevent the blisters from forming.
