WHAT EZOVIRIS USED
FOR
EZOVIR
is an antiviral medicine for
adults and adolescents. It is used to
treat outbreaks of genital herpes and
also to suppress (prevent) recurrent
outbreaks of the condition.
Genital herpes is a viral infection
caused by herpes simplex 1 or herpes
simplex 2. It is usually transmitted
through sexual contact.
Symptoms include tingling, burning
or itching of the genitals, followed by
blisters that may be painful.
People who have frequent episodes
of genital herpes can also take
EZOVIR
to help prevent the attacks.
Although EZOVIR
does not cure the
viral infection, it helps to relieve the
symptoms and shorten their duration.
The best results are obtained if the
medicine is started as soon as
possible after the first symptoms
begin to appear.
Taking EZOVIR
does not prevent
you from spreading the herpes virus
to another person.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS MEDICINE
HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.
Your doctor may have prescribed it
for another reason.
EZOVIR
is only available with a
