What is Zovirax?

Zovirax is an antiviral drug that is classified as a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue. This drug works by slowing the growth and spread of the herpes virus in the body. Zovirax can help treat infections such as genital herpes or cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus, shingles caused by the varicella-zoster virus, and chickenpox. Though Zovirax may not cure infections caused by the herpes virus, it may help the sores (if any) heal faster and decrease the duration of pain caused by sores.

Many people experience symptoms such as tingling, burning, or blisters during an active infection. In these cases, a doctor may prescribe Zovirax as part of a treatment regimen. Herpes infections are contagious and can be spread to other people, even while being treated with Zovirax. Avoid letting infected areas come into contact with other people. You should also avoid touching an infected area and then touching your eyes. Wash your hands frequently to prevent passing the infection to others.

Take Zovirax for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor even if your symptoms improve before the treatment course is completely finished.
