WHAT ZOVIRAX IS
USED FOR
ZOVIRAX is used for the treatment
and management of genital herpes.
_HOW DOES ZOVIRAX WORK?_
Aciclovir (the active ingredient in
ZOVIRAX) belongs to a group of
medicines called "anti-virals".
ZOVIRAX works by stopping the
production of the herpes virus. This
reduces the length and severity of an
outbreak of herpes. ZOVIRAX can
also be taken long term to reduce the
number of herpes outbreaks in people
who experience this condition often.
ZOVIRAX does not get rid of the
virus from your body.
Your doctor may, however, have
prescribed ZOVIRAX for a different
use to that described above.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
WHY YOU ARE TAKING ZOVIRAX ASK
YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST.
Your doctor or pharmacist will be
able to provide you with more
information.
